How to use paddle shifters?
Hello,
Let's say I am at 50MPH, 6th gear. When I start braking, do I need to shift down while braking or do I just shift all the way to 1st gear when I hit 0 mph?

You can leave it where they are at and let the engine shift down on it's own or you can aid in braking (save your brakes) by shifting down yourself. Just avoid downshifting into "gear" one manually. That puts strain on the transmission.

Pedal shifters on this car it's a marketing BS from Lexus to make BMW look bad by charging extra while they are offering standard. In reality are useless as they are gear limiters.
