Engine Braking
For those of us with a manual transmission, we are all aware of engine braking when downshifting. Generally, I don't do this but do rev matches on downshifts. However, I have noticed with the M3 that the engine braking seems more aggressive than most other cars. If I'm in a higher gear at low RPM and I just lift on the throttle the car slows down pretty rapidly. I'm starting to get concerned this isn't normal.
Thoughts?
I've driven manual cars my whole life including a recent Porsche and have never experienced this (to this degree).
