I took my car for my first autocross and definitely experienced this. I felt like a noob shifter. I was redlining, and couldn't get it into 2nd gear. Boy it did not feel good. It happened all 4 tries, but when I tried it on the normal street, I was find. Maybe it is my noobness in MT shifting, or maybe I haven't really broken her in even though I have 10k on the odometer. We'll just have to wait until the next autocrossing/track days.

I absolutely convinced me to option it on my next M3. you should take a second look, I know I came out of my little test drive quite blown away by the DCT.

My E36 M3's did not have this problem. My E30 325is do not have this problem. My 996 GT2 did not have this problem. The M3 clutch sucks. It's way too soft for no reason (E36 M3 clutch was perfect, don't know why they have to ruin it by making it no feel soft), the 1st to 2nd shift is just very difficult to execute fast and smooth, certainly not like any Porsche GT cars, the E30, or the E36 M3. The E9x M3 manual transmission would have been perfect had they kept the smoothness and the clutch feel of the E36 M3.

Guys, I had my CDV removed last night. My tech asked if I wanted him to remove it and I told him it doesn't have it or if it does it's a dummy like what everyone else around here says. Well guess what? My car had a CDV and he showed me the part after he removed it. There's a pinhole in the center not a pass through like everyone is saying. After he took it out I felt a difference right away.
Also to the OP, the weighted ZHP knob helped a little with the notchiness. |

I don't profess to know about these kind of things, but it's been confirmed that the car does not have a CDV. Maybe your tech isn't very knowledgeable? At any rate, I'd be curious to know what he actually did and how the shifting feel has improved. I take my car in soon and would like to have them take the clutch spring out at the very least.

Also my tech is a personal friend of mine so he wouldn't BS me. As for him being knowledgeable, he's been with BMW for 10yrs and before that Ferrari. He can do an engine swap in a day and tranny swaps in 3 hours (the book calls for 6). I removed my clutch spring soon after I picked up my car 2 years ago. From what I remembered removing the spring helped the clutch pedal return smoother. After having the CDV removed, the clutch pedal feels very consistent all throughout. The pedal also feels lighter (or it could just be in my head ) Also keep in mind my car is an early model 08 so maybe BMW changed the CDV for later year cars? All I know is my car HAD one.
