Missing shifts in an E92 M3....

[The Broken Regal]

uh just read BMW is offering a dual clutch SMG or something like that in the m3... knocks 3 tenths off the 1/4 time, hell maybe it was 0-60mph times... but yea, sick

2-3 Shift on any T-56 with a Cable clutch is very hard, especially in a faster than normal car, where the RPM's fly.

I am used to it now, but occasionally miss the 2-3 shift when power-shifting.

I thought BMW's were so refined, and easy to drive. Guess not.

Not the M breeds. Quote from Riski, "Does your car ride this hard" "No, it rides harder"

DCT or Dual clutch transmission. Been offered since the car came out and it's a great idea. At any given moment 2 gears are engaged, so the actual change in gears is virtually instantaneous. But, there are a few problems, the lurch, which is when you take off even slowly, it's like the car is slowly slipping the clutch and then dumping it, knocking your head into the head rest. It also has a bit of a lag from the time you click the button to shift to the time the transmission actually makes the shift, it's also something like a $3000 option. The DCT and manual seem to be pretty equal when it comes to straightline acceleration and I'm guessing its because the DCT cars are somewhere between 100-200lbs heavier. The new M models are going to get an 8 speed DCT which is just insane.

We will again, what has been added since the last race? This time we'll go from a dig.

8 gears.....more to try to power shift then.....You want to send a letter to BMW about the lack of being able to power shift the M series?

8 speed Auto/manual! Shit, an 8 speed manual would be insane.

They should just make a tranny that can handle abuse from it, from people like me!

actually he was the only one that did. i was ahead, until he found the right gear and mashed the throttle. it was a GSKR, looked like a 1000 but was moving too quick for me to see any numbers.

 

[Riski]

I know what gears I need......You can try my bike

 

[syP]

Whats the point in racing these slower cars? They are friends cars and its the same exact outcome everytime.


You feel like gettin down? Last time i raced you, i was bone stock.
