About to buy an M3 competition and this was extremely useful. Never driven an auto so this was invaluable, many thanks

The switch is upon us guys, he's dropping hints

Just bought an F80 and it’s such a learning curve. Super helpful!

Just purchased M6 F06, thanks for the video... It all makes sense now 😀

Thanks for this tutorial!! First time DST driver; definitely frustrated at the traffic lights until watching this. 2015 M4 vert

I watched this video a long time ago and I drove my first M4 dct the other day and remembered what you said about the missing park option! Your embarrassment made sure that I did the right thing! Thank you very much sir! And what an awesome driving machine that is!

Great tips. When coming from a manual to the DCT you may have to fight the urge to lift the throttle between upshifts.

owned my M4 Comp for 3 weeks now and I hadn't figured out point 2 properly yet! haha. Thank you!!

A couple other things of note about Drivelogic; the difference in shift speed is really only apparent when you're getting after it. If you're just pootling around in traffic at low speed, it will still shift at a speed that makes sense relative to the throttle input. Secondly, it also dictates what gear it uses when in automatic mode. In D1 mode it may go as high as 5th gear at 30-some mph, whereas D3 will hold 2nd and just barely break into 3rd when you hit 31-32 mph. And uh.... 2nd gear at 30mph and 2500-some rpm (turbos locked and loaded, right on the edge of boost city) is a recipe for disaster if you're not ready for it. Speaking from experience lol

Very educative,my first time in an M3 competition was blissful.

Interesting. I had an e88 135 with DCT and it had a park button and creeped like an auto, so a lot of this seems to be programming specific to the F80. Great channel btw!

Great vids, Brian! Just recently bought a 2015 M4 and have learned a ton about BMWs in general from you, and now feel way more comfortable with the DCT! Definitely something to get used to. Thanks man, keep it up!

How did it go

I have been driving an m2 for a year now and you have still thought me something new :D I did not know it went straight to park if you shut car off in drive. I've been stopping in neutral and pressing the start/stop button twice every time.

Partly because the owner'a manual is confusing on this issue. However, I believe even straight from Drive or Reverse, you're supposed to press the Stop button twice to shut down all accessories. Or at least that's what I've been told. I press the button twice everytime on my M2. Just take your foot off the brake on the second press. lol

Thanks so much. I’m considering a 2018 M4 DCT. This was a big help.

I love you 😍 you answered all my questions ✅❤️ I was lost 🙈😭 thanks 🙏 🤓 new subscriber

Damn, starting from stop was exactly what I was doing, just press the gas like on normal automatic and he would lunch me so fast I hated it. Ty man, I guess life is there to learn something every day

Just bought an F82 today, wish I’d watched this first. I was perplexed 😂😂 It became intuitive after a bit of mild panic

Great vid - definitely learned something. 👍🏻

As always, a great and informative video.

Hey Bryan, great video as always! Learned some new stuff. I had a request: could you do a video on the different types of bmw differentials and maybe even a video on switching a F30 to a LSD?

I'll probably never drive, much less own an F80 M3 BMW but I gave a like due to the great information that was provided here.

Haha I wish I saw this video earlier. I got an M4CS two months ago and every time I've accidentally turned the car off in neutral I start the car back up to put it in gear to turn it off LOL. Appreciate you making my life easier.

Guilty of doing the same with my F87 lol, just learned something new in 2023 🙂

I'm about to get an F80 soon and never driven an automatic car before, and definitly never a dct. So thanks for this video, so I don't have to look clueless

I’m actually familiar with the Ms transmission, i think they are very interesting. When I park these cars, I just leave them in neutral, and pull the parking brake. The same with manuals 👍🏿 Can’t wait to get a M4!! I want some track time! Drove both, and they both are special. Especially those engine noises, very unique!

Very clear comments. Many thanks

Great video man thanks 🙏

Cool things to share so I am not embarrassed. Thank you

I like this. Very informative

love this channel COOL must thumbs up

Didn’t know this very interesting neat videos Brian

Awesome video... very easy to follow but also very informative 😁😁 now let me call my Buddy with an M3... 😅😅

Great tips love ya videos 👍

Thanks bro totally worth it.

some DCTs also start rolling as soon as you release the foot from the brake, it depends on manufacturer.

Hi. There is another useful feature of a M DCT. If you're driving in a manual mode and you floor the throttle, the gearbox will not down shift automatically. Instead it waits until you pull the down shift paddle under the steering wheel and then it shifts into the best gear possible (even 3 - 4 gears lower).

Good video brother.

great video, in the next video switch your auto to a DCT lol, side note a video on doing a transmission oil change on the automatics

Some DCT brands DO have the Parking selector for the gear lever, like Volkswagen, Audi, and in general the VAG group. Also they use to have the parking brake.

Thought you had an upgrade for a second there. Didn't know about any of these things.

I’m about to rent an f80 for prom thanks for all the tips and help

Great video

This was a great video explaining this, I just got a BMW X5 M I was so lost thank you the info. I do see the auto H what is that?

I just now am finding out about the DCT after almost buying an F82 😂😂 seems like a pain in the ass I'm glad I went for the G82 in the end 😂

Cool I didn't know what that button was for haha until now 😅

This clip got you a subscriber

Bryan, I agree with the comment section. Time to go f80 M3 dct... for the channel of course

Love this man i need one I live in Corning NY would you be able to help me with any upgrades I'd be interested in doing. I'd drive to you of course. I'm talking turbos etc I can handle basically everything else

I just got my f80 lol so now i just have to learn on how to drive it properly at time its jerky

i did not know the tap feature i will try it on the test drive i have in a few days

I'm thinking about test driving a couple of these soon. I don't want to feel like an idiot 😀

It took me a good minute to figure this thing out when I test drove the M4 for the first time. Even the salesman was a little confused 😂😂😂

Brian, I think it may be time for you to make the switch...

I did the exact same thing with the looking for P in my F80 on the first drive

The best man

Kies Motorsports, when you swapped to the carbon fiber shift surround trim, did you notice the drive logic button being a less tactile and shallow than the stock trim? It's the same button but I found when I switched mine, it was different.

Hey bro. Could you please make a same video but on the BMW M8 Competition Coupe? Its M gear stick a bit different than your M3 gear stick. I'm waiting for that video. Thanks.

Great vid Brian and you said it that you prefer the dual clutch (DCT) over the Manual transmission, however do you feel the same comparing both options on an F80 M3 (Competition package)?

Champion learnt something

Thank you for the vid. I just got a F80 not long ago and it got jerky on me a few times when I give it to much gas. Im worried I’m going to brake something from when it happens. Do you know if I am damaging the engine when that happens ? Any pointers on better use of the low speed assistant and how to get on the throttle better would be much appreciated to

Been driving an x5m for two years and I've always thought that drive logic button was a broken shade button lmaoooo

thanks

Uh ... in the USA, 2011- 2013 135i & 135is were available with DCT as was the 2011 - 2013 335is, and Gertrude, they do have a Park setting in the shift pattern. These DCT do creep slightly at idle with no brake. E80/82/83 M3, F10 M5 & F12/13 F06 M6 had DCT also. Oh well, at you covered the F80/82/83.

I want that jacket ! ( already have the car :) )

Yeah nobody told me when I got my m2 comp . I drove an hour and thirty minutes back to my county and had to figure it out . It definitely made me feel a little silly.

Do you have to activate low speed assist every time you stop like at a stop light or stop sign??

Brian I plan to start changing the oil myself my local automotive store is having a sale on ramps a Jack kit set and a 1/4 and 1/2 inch torque wrench with adjustable settings but they are not electric can I do the job with these items I'm on a budget but if you think that this is alright to start of with please let me know and also can I drain my oil properly if the car is on ramps only on the front.

Great video as usual. I wanted to pick your brain and see what thoughts you had on buying a used M3. With the 2020 M3 release dates uncertain, what is the best time to buy a F80 generation M3? That's the car I love

Been saving up for a m4 for a bit & sold my n54. I like DCT but im definitely getting a manual 😬

Make the jump, Brian. Us F8x guys are waiting....

I have a F06 M6 Gran Coupe, which is a DCT M car by all mean, but it comes with a parking button :p

Mee to mate 😄

Hi, can you tell us, if you are in D1 and you are slowing down...from 50 to 30 let's say...can we put in N in order to accelerate to make noise while running ? and then in D1 back ? Thanks.

Hey Brian can you do a video about fxx with meth injection, no good videos out there for fxx models and you would do a great job!

Am I right in thinking you should be off the gas when you downshift? Think I heard somewhere it's kinder to the box?

Sometimes when I'm in D and accelerate with over 50% throttle (but not full kickdown) the transmission will remain in 5th until I slow down enough to engage anti stall protection, at the next junction for example. I usually flip the paddles up to 7th and then back to D. Anyone else had this issue with DCT? Other than that I absolutely love it though.

I did the same thing when I rented one.

Whatsup with the first gear being jerky? I cant get used to it lmao. Someone on fb posted about a gts gearbox flash fix? You know anything about that?

Nice video, but DCT transmission do not have torque converters.

What if I come to a stop but want to keep the engine running? How do I put it in P in that case? Thanks!

I have a 2013 335is with dct and the first thing I said with no parking break my car has a button I hit ontopnof the shifter knob itself says P I hit it and puts it in parking is this only for the dct for the M3 isn’t it the 7 speed dct same as the 335is?

Bryan. The fact that cars fitted with M DCT don’t move forward when you’re standing without hitting the accelerator has nothing to do with not having a torque converter. It’s called the crawling function and it’s how the manufacturer programs the transmission. I’ve had Audi S3 and S4 with dual clutch transmissions and they have the crawling feature so when you let go off the brake the car moves forward. Same with McLaren which they all have dual clutch transmissions. They move forward without you hitting the gas except the LT models which they program them like this to make them resemble more like a manual transmission vehicle.

No it's called Low Speed Assistant. It says it right in the owners manual.

I know this vid is old, but i got an f80, i have a gearbox problem, and my fuel is going crazy i would spend about £20 (about $25) within 2 hours of driving in sport (not ragging it or flooring every 2 seconds) please lmk why. I also get around 100 miles half tank and 240-250 miles full tank MAX

How did you get the blue cluster?

does anyone know what the longevity on the transmission is like depending on what setting you keep your transmission in?

@mcintosh.motors

Жыл бұрын

For longevity it’s better to go in the 2nd or 3rd setting after just a bit of temp in the transmission. Reason for this is the clutch packs will last longer when they actually have clamping pressure and it’s not trying to slip and be super smooth

Lol this was me!

Wait can you explain the “Low speed assist?” So I would just tap the gas? Or feather on it?

@MCompeticione

Just tap it, it will starting creepin. Tap it some more if necessary like at a stop and go type of traffic situation.

How do you park the car and keep engine running?

Can you park it when it’s in reverse or does it have to be on drive ?

On test drive of my M4 i had to google how to put it in park.

Wish i could have an M3 F80 🥰

hey how come your gages are blue ? did it come like that or u had it done

I say 6speeds are the most fun you can have by far

Either manual, or dct/pdk. I'm never getting a slushmatic XD

lol when you make the switch i’ll buy the F30 ;)

Just bought a 2018 F80 today and the only thing I knew about the dct was to leave it in gear to park it and the shift speed button.
