2013 m6 conv staying in 2nd gear stop and go

I just picked up a 2013 m6 convertible, once the car warms up and I drive in stop and go traffic...I noticed it stays in 2nd gear. Is this normal, I've searched the forum and seems normal. But every time I do start from a light I get a minor push. Just want to make sure before car is out of warranty. Thanks

It does it in Driver shift mode 1 which is the most efficient and slowest.. I always drive in setting 2 when in automatic, it rarely starts in 2nd.. goto setting 3 and it shouldnt at all, but 2 seems to work the best

It won't do it if you've been driving aggressive, learns your habits, and moods, I suppose you'd say for the short term.

Drive your car the way it's meant to be driven and the transmission will be adapted to your driving habit... My car never starts from second gear after fully stop...
