Mine does it on the down shifts, but you need to be in sport mode.
That's when I noticed the blips - more so when the lh paddle is used.
"lh" = left hand?
If so, I'm confused, because the paddles on the DCT are symmetrical in function, aren't they? (In other words, right
& left
push are change down and right
& left
pull are change up.) Unlike Porsche PDK, for example, where the left paddle is only for down and the right is only for up.
Accordingly, how are the blips more noticeable when the "lh" paddle is used on the 35iS?

Paddles on the E89 from 2013 onwards I think it is are left pull for downshifts, right pull for upshifts. You cannot push them. Ronk's car is a 2016 car.

The flippers are marked - (lh) & + (rh) on my current car.
From memory here, my previous 2010 E89 Auto had flippers that were indeed symmetrical - the smaller top portion left and right side (thumb push ) was down the box while the bigger lower half (finger pull ) was up the box..
That's as I recall !

Thanks, both. I didn't know.
Having used the Tiptronic 2 with up-&-down-on-both-sides buttons & then with L-down/R-up paddles for five years, I'm surprised how well the 2110-2013 DCT symmetrical paddles work.
And they blip on both sides, of course.
