DCT clutch engagement, slipping into 1st?
So for the most part I love DCT. However, I am somewhat annoyed at how long it takes to put the car in gear from a standstill. The car seems to rev the engine and slip into 1st gear at 1500 rpms. Kind of reminds me of someone who doesn't know how to drive manual well.
When driving manual I knew the exact point where the gear would engage and take off with no hesitation, fully engaging 1st gear around <800 rpms. Why can't DCT do this? Is slipping into 1st at 1500 rpms normal or should I take my car in to the dealer to get it checked out? |

This can also be solved by running your car in sport power mode. |

As others have mentioned there are valid workarounds if you don't want a tune at all and just want to live with it. |

Normal behavior. Try using the Sport throttle setting if you want the sensation of quicker take-up.
If you feel like it's really annoying, you can always visit your local BMW indie shop and have them perform the DKG "re-learn" procedure with the computer. Supposedly it is not necessary since things are self-adjusting, though it probably won't hurt.
