It is only possible to engage top gear at 50mph(850i 4spd auto). As a good proportion of my daily commute is sub 50 mph it is spent in 3rd gear with obvious excess fuel consumption. Once in top gear it will happily travel at lower speeds but it is very frustrating when you just can't get it to 50mph in the first place. Does anyone know if there is a chip or something available that will allow an earlier selection of top gear?
Obviously 6spd manuals do not have this problem and is probably why they get better consumption figures.
Any thoughts or similar acknowledgements?
