Slow in Pick Up

Agreed but hopefully you guys dont confuse SMG with steptronic gearbox with paddle shifter cos that is what you guys have actually hehehehe

*cough* *cough* what confuse? I have 3 paddles !!

I appreciate rev cut a lot more than overriding upshift..

Does your autobox have "hold" button like JDM?
I tried 335i. It will hold gear just fine. Or maybe not.
There must be a way to overide that.

Nope... no "HOLD" button... my 1992 Perdana got.. ... that wan is for winter use la.. to prevent down shift.

eh eh someone mentioned in the forum that the bmw was designed to understand man.. therefore changing gears interrupt-ly, changing gears anytime wont affect the gear box .. so now this is not true???
sigh sigh..

a voice command shifting will be cool.
Picture this: A Englishman are in a M5 while a GTR35 fly by in highway. He want to accelerate fast to chase the car. So he command his car to change gear. He read out load "Give me the bloody lowest gear possible".

Not that far away. Voice command is an option in the E90 for quite a few functions. But it doesn't extend to the gearbox I think Volvo has a concept car that does though.

On the contrary, rachel, it IS true. What astro is complaining about is the car knowing too much. Eg, knowing that he switches off his DCS and goes manual to drift the car on city streets...when he's drunk. So it refuses to play and upshifts when he doesn't want to. Potong his stim so that he goes home to his family safely.

So it understands men. Women I'm not sure...

... in the rain where even F1 with full wets also need to have race cancel!!!

So sorry man. Okay, "switches off his DCS and goes manual, to drift the car, in the rain, on city streets, on nearly bald tyres, with unequal camber, after watching F1 AND when he's totally p*ssed." Hope I got it right now!

Your BMW thinks: "Whoa big boy, shutdown...shutdown..."

 

[astroboy]

Yep! That's about right! Now I drive slow... guli jatuh lio... need to wait until it grow again..
