Unless you have a lot of experience racing at lights, I wouldn't use the E-shift. I recently went up against a 328i. In the heat of the moment I looked over at the other car and forgot to hit the E-Shift to the next gear. My IS300 red-lined and didn't automatically shift for me. That's when the Bimmer passed me. Unless, you're a real pro, I suggest putting the "power etc" button on and let the car shift for you. I was pretty pissed off for sitting in second gear watching my car get beat. Granted, if the guy in the Bimmer had manual and decent ability to shift he would have beat me anyhow. It just sucks when you f**k up.
Another thing I realize is this. There is no replacement for a manual transmission. With E-shift, you don't get a feel for the the car's engine/transmission and can't make that perfect shift. Clicking a button just doen't do the trick.
