I'm also having a hard time wrapping my head around crawling around at 25 in 4th. With mine I'm flat to the floor in 3rd before I get around to shifting up to 4th at around 40 to 45 depending on traffic conditions.

Exactly. 4th is of no use below 40mph in a 240D. At 25 in 4th some SERIOUS lugging would be going on and that's very bad for the engine.
