Is this correct? How would do I keep it in auto?

Be aware that, when in auto (S) mode, if you pull one of the paddles on the steering wheel, the car automatically changes to manual (D) mode and stays there until you switch back using the shift lever, iDrive settings, or a suitably programmed M button.
So, what is almost surely happening here is the acceleration of the vehicle is causing your hands to tighten and accidentally pull one of the paddles in the process. Try accelerating in auto mode with your hands tight on the wheel and see if you can get the car to switch to manual mode. I suspect you'll find it does not.
