Does it engage in the right gear when i put it back in gear? Also is it harsh on the tranny to do that?

If there are issues, I will need to find another option other than the e92 M3....

College hockey and agressive skiing have left me with memories of friends not being able to drive for weeks because of a left knee injury that prevented MT operation. So, even though my knee is pretty good with no major injuries (knock on wood) I have been experiencing some issues over the last few months and need an MRI. This is why I can't have a left peddle in a car I want to drive all the time, not just the 5 or so yearly track sessions.

Actually I've found it chooses the highest gear it can choose for a particular speed. Sometimes the revs are very low (not less than idle) when going back into gear from neutral and usually I find I have to downshift after going back into gear. Not a big deal and easy to accomplish.

They mean when you come off nutral at speed and engage the system. Otherwise, if it is in manual mode (or whatever that is called) you are in control.

If you really want the best acceleration from the MDCT, you would use "D" mode.....the computer is best to pick the upshift points. True for SMG / MDCT / old F1 cars.... Hitting the rev limiter is easy and very bad for acceleration.

100% agreed with you, I just meant if you want to be in full control. But yes, I do agree the car will do a better job than the driver. This is why on the MT6 i increased the rev limiter a tad so I wouldn't hit it all the time, its very difficult to do this perfectly.

Edit: in the video I have from the car it appears to shift mid turn, without input from the driver (In S6). As I type this I am droping the car off to pull the fault codes (if any) from the gearbox.

Quick video clip extracted from my camera showing the car jumping from 3->7->6
~256k http://www.alternaterealities.info/video/r4s.wmv As far as I can tell from the video and my recall of driving I didn't pull either paddle to make these shifts happen. [sorry for the poor quallity, the video is clipped from a full frame]

Yeah looks like a defect to me. D mode is for running in a straight line.....downshifting best left for humans. If we look at the modern F1 cars when semi's were allowed, upshift was controlled by the computer and downshift by humans.

Agree with the auto upshift comment. Should really be an option in the M drive settings.
