paddle shift

Anyone use them? I've tried couple of times to shift them in the city... driving only in D mode, no need to look on dashboard. Maybe its cool when u overtake car on the road to shift on lower transmisson for faster acceleration. I havent found propper use for this option yet )

They are really fun to use when you move the shifter to the left, in SPORT mode, that's when you really use them. If you are driving on small, curvy roads, they are a blast!

I haven't received my 535 yet, but my 3 series Coupe has them and they are great.

The main thing I used the paddles for on my 335i was to specifically use engine braking when going down big hills.
