M2 DCT holding on the first gear for too long after startup

Hey guys, I have a question regarding the DCT - I have had my M2 for a little over the year and I have noticed some weird behaviour of the DCT which is more pronounced in winter months.

When I start my car, I have to go out of a garage and then drive up a small hill (approx. 100 metres). If i leave my DCT in drive (no paddle shifts), it changes gears only after reaching approximately 4000 RPMs or reaching the flat surface (and even then it revs high before shifting into second). I guess it is not good for cold engine to rev so high so I usually change it manually. After that first shift, it usually quickly goes into second, third, and fourth and after that it shifts completely normal.

Is this behaviour normal? And should I be using manual shifts to override that first shifting procedure?

Thanks so much!
