I see you notice effective engine braking as one of the benefits of the manually controlled automatic gearbox. On the 116i I have a manual gearbox, but the engine braking is still disappointingly weak. The car reports it is regenerating the energy, but I expecteded more braking power from this system.
When going downhill, I often need to go down to second gear to stay below the 80 km/h speed limit. My old E30 318iS could do the same hill in fourth gear, and that car had no energy regenerating system.
