Congrats on the new ride.

Just a wild thought, but is it possible the new models have a performance 
limiting software  that prevents ****fting back to first until after you 
achieve "X" amount of break-in miles?

I owned a new '06 M5  (before I traded it for a 996TT)  that had limits on

performance until 1200 miles, if I recall correctly.
At about 1200 miles the limits magically went away.
