This was the case on my DCT F92 M3 and is the same with my DCT M4.

This.
Despite some people calling it an "automatic" it is not an automatic transmission. It is an automated manual transmission. It has no torque converter, and the internal gears are much more closely related to a traditional manual than an automatic.
Therefore, you cannot expect it to drive like an automatic. Oh sure, it'll shift without your intervention, but that's where the similarities stop. There's a clutch in there (well, two, of course) engaging the gears, not s torque converter. You have to drive it like you would a manual off the line. Just without the left foot involvement.
