The impression that I get, is you're really fighting the torque converter from a standing start in 2nd or 3rd. The practice I use, is to get the automatic in the next gear as quickly as possible (with a target engine speed). Otherwise, your energy is going into torque disbursement instead of to the wheels for forward motion.

What do you mean by "fighting the TC"?
Your car makes a lot of noise but doesn't really go anywhere?
I'm going to start messing around with this. I'm already shifting into neutral at lights and downshifting to a stop, as well as driving on the highway in M5 rather than Drive (ensures that the TC is locked and no downshifts occur when in cruise).
