F55 MCS Hard Downshifting

Hi,
Recently purchased a 2016 F55 MCS with sport automatic transmission. Really nice car and overall good feel.
Noticed that whenever the car is coming to a stop, either at traffic lights or stop sign, the F55 downshift is very harsh and 'jerky' in regular 'Mid' mode. Is this normal? Can other owners of either F55/F56 chime in with your experience?

Happy motoring!

Yeah, my F55 S is the same.

So much so that it's now instinctive for me to manually downshift using the paddle shifters when coming to a stop. I don't even think about it anymore, I just do it.
