A money shift could happen to anyone.

Clearly BMW didn't design the tranny properly in the first place to prevent this from happening.

??? No. You have to use a lot of muscle to force a BMW gearbox to downshift instead of upshift. Drivers should learn some finesse. It takes almost no force to upshift these gearboxes. I cannot understand why I see people nearly rip their shift knobs off making shifts. Get yourselves a DCT ffs.

Why has nobody pointed out that the OP was full throttle, high RPM, 4th gear IN THE RAIN on a public road.
WTF

He is on the autobahn.... yeah, sure that fast in the rain is not recommended, but what he's doing isn't illegal.

If the money shift happened on a drag attempt on a strip or a track day I'd say "fair enough" but a brutal shift on a public road at high revs in heavy rain particularly on this platform...well its ballsy at best and negligent at worst. It's actually quite miraculous the rears didn't lock too and the car spin out (I've had that happen on cars with bigger V8's with more engine momentum). |

I think we can both agree we don't know the answer to that. My point was simply that he isn't in the US, doing pulls on the highway on Germany seemed to me to be par for the course every time I have been driving there.

Not likely. Rev match can’t request more than the rev limiter. And a money shift means you let the clutch out. Otherwise what would accelerate the engine speed past the point of damage? Rev match can’t damage the engine, it’s just annoying. But still slave to engine management software.

I wrote "On a public road" - meaning, he is endangering others. Skip the law, skip the police, but man, it certainly was raining and he was going hard in 4th in a modified M2 - that's unsafe... and when you mix in the others in danger, I don't think it is par for any course.

I've watched it a few times at 1/4 speed but the camera moves toward the dash right after he puts the clutch in and you can't see what's happening with his feet or his hand until everything is over with.

The interesting thing as chris719 said is that the rods, pistons or valves were not damaged (as far as we know).

It's not common or easy to do, but no need to pile on the poor guy. He already paid out of pocket to replace his engine, which isn't cheap. I'm not sure there is anything inherently manly about a MT either. I mean, I know all the bros think it makes them cool, but every teenage girl in Europe and the UK probably learned on a Peugeot with MT that's easier to stall than the M2. I drive an MT also btw...
