Hold right shifter...

Just saw a video with a m550i: is it correct when you want to switch from manual mode to D (rive- automode). You just hold right shifter?

Holding right paddle selects D and highest gear available.

Holding left paddle selects D and the lowest available gear.

Thanks for the reply...
you don't want to know what I did until now.

The only thing I ever tried was push both and hoping it would go in neutral

Chevy has it ...

Now that we're officially post-manual transmission in the Corvette timeline, the dual-clutch automatic in the mid-engine C8 can be declutched when both steering wheel-mounted paddles are pulled at the same time. Pulling both paddles effectively engages neutral, but doesn't require owners to hunt for the button amid many buttons.

From there, owners can rev the LT2 V-8 to the satisfaction of others at stoplights—and in other ZIP codes.

Yep, even my old 2014 Grand Cherokee did it.
