M5 Throttle Pedal

[skeeterm5]

Hi,

I have often wondered why the throttle pedal goes down 90% (or so) of the way and then you need to add a bit more pressure to get it to the floor.

Anyone know why there is this 'stop' before the floor?

Kickdown for when in auto mode?

Never used on my (now ex-) M5.

Aha - never used the auto function - just thought it was to remind me I was full tilt

I gave the auto function one last chance on the way to drop off my now sold M5. As usual, I gave up after a few minutes. It is crap.

I've loved that car though. It's been great over the last five and a half years.

Wha are you replacing it with Zod if you don`t mind me asking?

A very good choice, You have 'undulled' yourself !

That extra bit has to be applied to use launch control ... Maybe that's why its there ?

Very Nice Zod.

"Zod's dead baby, Zod's dead" err no he isn't, he's tooling around in a lovely Aston Martin!

Forgive the terrible Tarantino mis-quote.
