Coming from other luxury cars my 328d is far from smooth shifting. Also notice that when coming to a stop, the downshifts are rough as well. They really stop the car and make it hard to come to a smooth stop. Any input appreciated, thanks.

Many people first experiencing BMW's shift logic have commented on downshifts. BMW does it to keep the turbo spooled up so that full power is available. If you object to it, go to the eco pro setup and enable "coasting".
1st-2nd sometimes is "rough" with light throttle, or when the engine is cold and it's keeping revs up to help the car warm up quickly. I notice this a bit on my wife's 328xd (and on my older 335d.)
