and brake pads too!
I always down shift when slowing or stopping, I just wish it was possible to go back to S from M, with out shifting back to D then back to S. On a Mercedes you can hold the shifter over and it will shift back to D in S or C. You can also hold over the shifter to down shift and it will continuley down shift you when you car hits the correct RPMS as you approach a stop. The BMW not so much...you have to shift down each time. This is not a huge deal but it could be better.
