Another thing that may be affecting your shifting is that the clutch take-up on every MT BMW if have driven/raced/built has been quite different from every VWAG MT/clutch (wife owned 3, friends another 3) I've driven.
I've always found/favored the BMWs to be very direct...bury the clutch, match the revs. VWAG clutches always seemed to dis-engage much higher (less pedal travel), which I personally never cared for. Just a thought. -Mark in St. Louis |

So I gave it a shot last night went for a nice cruise and I didn't touch the M button at all I actually pressed the power button it's self. I did some practice downshifts and with the power button off I was able to down shift to second comfortably, but when I put the power button on I had to go a little easier with the throttle blip. But I was still able to achieve it. I guess it's just gonna take me time to get comfortable with the cars transmission.

A tune to smooth it out goes a long way. My mapping even improved with the 240E update from BMW so if you don't have that, you might be running shitty. BTW. I stumbled upon the new arm positioning while rolling up my sleeve to prevent my shirt cuff from getting caught on the iDrive wheel (I have a 2008). |
