Re: how arupt is braking
2000 BMW 328Ci, always drive with dsc off.. :) Why? Are you one of those "I just got my licence so I'm the best driver in the world" type of guys? ;) Maybe it's because it was a 2000 year model? The dsc is extremely awkward and IMO, reduces control from driver input. I tested it out in th...

Re: Ever get those days
Just an update to this very old thread, the aforementioned events was a one day thing and hasn't ever happened again since.
Very weird thinking back to it!

Re: Ever get those days
I'm spooked by it just as much as you guys are, this has never happened to me. It's like everything that could go wrong in one day pretty much almost happened to me, (almost because I didn't crash)

Re: Ever get those days
Let me reiterate, I was driving on the wrong side of the road for like, less than a second, I backed up + turned, put it in 1st, and realized I backed + turned onto the left side of the road and was about to drive straight down it. Not actually driving on the wrong side per say, but still bad. My dr...

Ever get those days
Once in a lifetime.. or.. 1 out of 40 years I would say? (i'm only 20-ish!) I usually am pretty attentive, even when blahhhhh, good gear changes, rev matching, smooth inputs, controlled lane swtiches under a variety of conditions. Today I almost got into an accident a number of times, I kept going b...

I have no idea, despite how I've...

Re: how arupt is braking
It understeered mid corner in a 90 degree corner in the wet. mid transition phase from when i eased off the brakes/gas, I think i hit a slight bump/twist in the road and the front wheels lost traction for a split second, was not going balls to the wall driving in any means, just a bit faster than de...

Re: how arupt is braking
was just wondering. I used to burn into corners with my old car (slush), and I've toned down a lot since then, but occasionally when bored, I do get the urge to brake hard from a decent speed into a corner on an empty road... so I asked lol. I've been taking corners 1 gear higher than normal these d...

how arupt is braking
when racing? should it be just the same as braking hard in street driving but harder/quicker but not slam quick?
I've noticed at times slamming on the brakes with abs kicking = same or more most of the time as smoothly just braking, but no tire noise.

Already asked this, but making sure!
Do the best drivers slip the clutch a bit when shifting? I mean, not a newbie slip, but an ease out, but more of a slip when downshifting to ensure it's smooth? I've been shifting like this for the past 2 weeks? I can pretty much drive at speed very relaxed, although sometimes I do get myself in ner...

Anyone here..
not care about their shifts? I mean I can heel toe, double clutch, whatever. Most of my shifts are smooth with a bit of a jolt, like a very very small jolt, or just pure smooth. Should I care about how smooth they are? If the rev-match is spot on, good, if not, OOPS. Do pro drivers approach this the...

Re: Question on presing in clutch pedal
The computer cuts off the ignition for a split second so the revs drop REALLY fast.

The logo on my BMW is coming off, is there a site/place where I can order a new one?
