Steptronic Question
My 528i sedan has no hesitation and much better response when in manual mode. It has a hesitation and signicantly less responsive when in automatic transmission mode.
Will it hurt my car to drive it manual and let the computer change gears all the time? Should it be less responsive in auto mode?

Have you tried the "tranny reset procedure"? (Fob in, no foot on brake, press start button, then press gas pedal to the floor and hold it there for 30 sec.). Let go of gas pedal, take fob out and then start the car again and go and enjoy. This will reset the tranny's "auto-learn" and if you are a sedate daily driver, you will notice increased reponsiveness - at least for a while.

Not quite sure what you mean in your last paragraph. In manual mode you have to shift the gears, no?

you'll be fine in manual mode, although personally I'd still change down to 2 for accelerating from a dead stop. The computer will only go down to 3 automatically
