I have driven it for about 20 minutes this way on back roads, and I held it until it was absolutely wailing. Its a non-turbo so I have no tacho, but it was over 45 mph for sure on one run.
I have checked the kickdown switch... it seems to be functioning normally.
It shifts normally from 1st to 2nd, very quickly and smoothly actually (compared to the three SDs and the 240d I've owned in the past).
BTW, the vacuum line to the transmission is connected.
Tks
