Gear issues help m2 2018

Hi guys back again no paint issues this time
Got a query sometimes (today mainly / once twice before) in sports mode my m2 holds the 1st or 3rd gear till 6-7 rpm revs out and then mostly changes on it own or I switch to manual and paddle shift
Is it this an m car thing the 135i I had gear box seemed a lot different
Any help

Most cars with some sort of sport mode assume that sport mode = late upshifts. They assume you're not trying to save on gas

The auto function on stock car is not great.
I drive on the paddles 99% of the time.
Strangely the Auto side is more "normal" with latest M4 GTS DCT flash. RPM of the shifts relate much more to throttle position.

My car has DCT, but I think it depends on how far your foot is down on the accelerator pedal, ie if its not that far down it should change up at 3K rpms, but if you nail it then it assuming your are wanting to go for it and the transmission with take it to redline before up shifting ie giving you as much power / performance as possible.

What software version is your car running? I'm curious?
