Is the Computer Aided Gear Selection (CAGS) system really for emissions or is it a clever way to help mask the crappy cold 1st to 2nd gear shift problem on the M7 ?

CAGS has been around for a long time and on other cars also.

It's for MPG ratings.

Obviously not to "mask the crappy cold 1st to 2nd gear shift problem" since it is so easy to avoid the forced 1-4 shift. CAGS was much more intrusive on the C6 than it is on the C7.
