That's ok. We need more wiseguys around here.

I know what you're talking about. This is just a slight delay in downshifting under braking, and it's not all the time. Not that big a deal. The rest of the update is great.

I have virtually no lag in my 09 e92. I just love it.

Only very seldomly do I get an ignored shift in any gear, and I think its usually because RPMs are just slightly too high to complete the shift. Also, like I said, you have to be on the brakes to do a very high RPM downshift to first, and there may be similar limits for the other gear. But certainly a downshift to first at 1500RPM should be allowed. In fact I never use any gear except 1st below 2000RPM.

i have smg and that is exactly how i drive too. maybe these lag are low auto mode such as d1-3?
