rev matching like fish tacos is the tits

[Spa2k]

OK, so I'm new around here. How do fish tacos rev-match?

You're right this whole time I've been writing in third person about myself, it's a shame you're to ignorant to read or understand what I'm saying

I think that's a bunch of BS... if you're such an amazing driver then turn the traction and stability controls off. People have been driving like that for decades so it's not like it's impossible. It's like any other convenience feature on today's cars. If you don't want it, buy a 1M or an E92. I learned how to rev match in my E30 and used it all the way up to my E9Xs and when my M2 comes I'll continue to use it on the track, but what I won't do is complain about the convenience features that I knew about when I bought the car.

If you want the full-blown experience of driving a manual car, get an e30. If you want to have it all done for you, get a DCT. Otherwise, enjoy the balance of a 6MT with rev matching.

I'm surprised to hear such a rant about automating a function of a manual transmission from someone driving an automatic. If it's one of the most satisfying things you can do in a car, why do you own a DCT?

Actually I know the canned responses to this and don't agree, so let's call that a rhetorical question and let this sleeping dog lie.

Anyway back to my point, the rev matching yes, today as i was driving this Beast ( 109bhp ) in sport + ( which makes absolutely no difference what so ever may i add ) i noticed that when i downshifted the rev counter flew up, and i found out the car has rev matching, now just think how angry this made me in a 116i..... i cannot put into words how angry people who paid top money for an M2 only to find one of the most satisfying things you can do in a car is now being done for you you no longer get that 5 second feeling that you are the next Lewis Hamilton, you no longer can take a girl for a drive catch a perfect downshift and be like '' you hear that? that's right i am the shit'', like i am sorry but rev matching is one of the worst things i have ever seen installed on a car, its sort of like when you're watching a film with a friend and he has already seen the movie and just before a good part in the film he says '' oh this bit is so funny'', Ahh cheers bro thanks for ruining the whole damn scene.


anyway just my 2 cents to this catastrophic creation, and my deep condolences to all M2 Manual owners out there who wanted to go down the Purist route, you have been robbed.

Cheers

Kris.
