I have had the same happen to me as well. I replaced the MTF with Redline MTL. Noticed a small difference, but it still has happened once since the fluid change. To me, I can live with it, because, as stated before, this isn't a drag car.

Although one caveat comes to mind, if we are not supposed to shift that fast from 1st to 2nd, how come the E46 M3 SMG transmission can shift even faster and harder?!? (when the SMG shifts in the most aggressive mode, it feels like there is a trans brake installed!!) (and before you even think about replying and saying its a completely different gearbox, remember that the E46 M3 SMG gearbox is the exact same gearbox as the 6spd manual tranny in the E46 M3, just installed with an electro-hydraulic shifting mechanism)

It makes no sense to me why BMW did not bring the E46 M3 gearbox along with the S54 to the Z4M... ... cost maybe???
