Because the e55 basically downshifts, doesn't tell you, then upshifts when needed. All while still showing it is in 2nd gear.

So in other words it lets you think you are shifting yourself when you still aren't.

But yeah it doesn't automatically upshift passed the gear you have selected, but it will auto-downshift below and back up to the gear you have selected.
Trust me I know,you learn the hard way when you have 480whp and 580rwt when you think its in 3rd and downshift the paddle and give it gas and end up side ways because the car goes right to first and spins like mad.

Damn, you guys are young whippersnappers! I must be bringing up the rear at 46 years old.

As for the coolant light, take of the coolant cap and turn on the engine. Make sure your heater is on as well. Then just fill with coolant as the level should go down once you do this procedure. If the coolant level is fine and the light is still on, it is probably your coolant level sensor that is bad.

On caveat. If the coolant level is indeed lo, you better find out the reason.

Those are some odd numbers... You are putting 100 more torques that hp out? I'm stock except for some cooling mods and an exhaust system. Putting 410whp and 444rwt. I haven't had any trouble with downshifts, but then again I drive in Sport not manual and only manual seems to downshift further than I want it to.

Open the cap and you will see some rib or plastic stuff sticking up. My car is filled to just the top of the rib.

Ahhh, you read the warning on the coolant reservoir! I was going to tell you to only use factory coolant. Btw, you need to go to the dealer to get the coolant. In a pinch, you can use distilled water to top off.
