In my old Civic type R it was a case of slap it through the gears as fast as you physically can, the car could happily keep up. In the BMW you have to flow through the gears with deliberate movements.
I find the car rewards smooth inputs in general, the transmission most so.

Honda transmissions are famous for being able to just manhandle the gears and get what you want out of it -- S2000 and Civic Si being the prime examples. This transmission, while very good, is not that good. It's not a production defect, it's just a design choice/flaw. Getting a new BMW transmission will not let you slam shift this car from 1 to 2.
