Default Manual question

I just picked up my Z today and while I love driving it fast I'm having trouble just cruising around trying to get nice smooth shifts. Clutch take up from a stop is much easier than my BMW. I just can't get nice , smooth shifts first to second like I did with my BMW however I try. The rest of the gears are great. Maybe it is because the Z has twice the amount of torque. Also, my 325i only had 184HP. I'm over 60 years old and been driving sticks all my life so I know each one is different. Any tips for non aggressive driving?
