I read about this in a Swedish car magazine. They test drove the 523i and said that the gearbox goes into lock-up even at low gears and you get the kind of engine braking that you have with a manual gearbox. The writer thought it was a normal feature of the 8sp gearbox, but it could also be a malfunction I guess.
