The 116i or 118i where not available with sport automatic gearbox and still aren't. I'd to have the software upgrade and paddles as well. No tuner/engineering company offers this tuning upgrade yet.

If the option was not available from factory, how should the engine management knows he has to work with a faster gearbox setup? Maybe a stupid question, but I think they talk constantly with each other.

By tuning the engine you feel less need to upgrade the software of the gearbox. In my option it would be great if its was available, but i feel more need for smoother gear changes at low speed beneath 4000 rpm, like the bigger engines do.
