Another little question regarding dct..
When in manual is there any difference in the 3 gearbox settings.. I've had a quick play but didn't notice anything?
Each one is progressively faster and more "emotional" in that in S3 at WOT and a top revs the changes punch home and give you a thump in the back (SMG style) the exhaust will also let out a crack on up shift as well.

Which car, which 3 settings?
E92 M3 has 6 settings for manual gearbox ranging from slow and smooth to fast and thumpy, mine's set on 5.
M5 and the new M3/4 have 3, but the same theory as the old 6 settings apart from you don't have to turn the TC off to get the fastest shift like you did with the e9* DCT E92 M3 has 6 settings for manual gearbox ranging from slow and smooth to fast and thumpy, mine's set on 5.

S6 in the E60 M5 was off the chart mental as the smack was so intense you thought the gearbox was going to appear in the rear view mirror sat on the tarmac. Sounded epic but was a tad overboard.E92 M3 has 6 settings for manual gearbox ranging from slow and smooth to fast and thumpy, mine's set on 5.

And if you want it in 1st gear rather than 2nd to pull away, give the throttle a gentle tap.
Every day is a learning day! Never knew this and it annoys the hell out of me when it decides to pull off in 2nd.Cheers.

Ahh right I didn't know, I just tried it a few times driving normally, probably why I didn't notice anything..likesachange said:
