Here's to hoping that the rev-match feature is no nuisance during 6MT mountain driving with stability control active.

Actually, what prompted BMW to decide not to allow owners to simply toggle between rev-match on/off in the iDrive settings (hard preset) ? Pampering ? Fear of gear box damage ? 'Limited settings' as a concept/philosophy ?

We don't mind nosy mothers-in-law, but sometimes we should be able to simply send them home and do our stuff the way we like to do it.
I'm wondering if rev-matching means that speed-shifting is really easy now.
Could save wear-and-tear on the clutch mechanism.
