2007 E 63
Sport Shift Program

Just sold my CL55, and bought an E63. On the CL in sport mode it always started in first. The E63 starts in second in both sport and comfort. The dealer is checking on this. He has two others. One does like mine, the other in first. I talked to an owner of one, and he says you have to have driven hard for it to learn. I only have about 250 mi., so still breaking in. Does anybody have anymore insight into this.

A stupid feature that I have been complaining about. If you force the car go past 3000 rpm in first gear in sport mode, by klicking to first with the paddle, it will then revert to first gear starts, until you turn the car off - then does the same thing all over again.
