2022 m550 paddle downshift restrictor??

I hae had the car about six weeks now and due to travel have only put about 500 miles on it. I thought that I was imagining it but today I experienced and did soe experimentation.
I was cruising on the hiway at about 85 mph and was coming up on a car. I downshifted with my paddle to slow up and not run up the rear of the driver in front of me. It dropped inton 8th gear without much slowing which was normal
in my previous '19 M550 and then attempted to downshift again but it would not drop into 7th gear which would have safely slowed me up smoothly. I had noticed this on offramps but thought it was me.
Today I tried to paddle downshift at different speeds and from different gears and was restricted to one gear drop. It seems to be tied to speed. I'm certainly not speaking of "slamming" gears. I'm not sure what the point is if this is in fact by design. I am in Individual Sport mode with the same settings as in my previous '19. I'm interested in any help or feedack?
Dealer has NO clue.
Thanks.
