The transmission shifts are jerkier now (only under full acceleration) , I believe, due to the increase in torque. I originally complained internally once I broke my car in that the gear shifts were too smooth and acceleration too linear almost like an electric car. Many of the initial reviews of our car lamented that it didn't have the same level of raw satisfaction as a Stelvio or GlC63 despite being just as fast. Under full acceleration I don't have that problem anymore. The whole body squats under full throttle and briefly pops up a bit on each shift in the lower gears. I've been wanting a feeling more like that since day one after break in, and I've got it now.

We SAV guys - we're OK standing still for a split second after we stomp the gas, as our 4,000+ pound beasts confirm that we really, really want to hit warp speed... Car guys? No way. Won't have it. Perhaps the drag out in release of M3/4 is them figuring this out. |

I think it is by design to save people lives. Or M3/M4 lives. #MLivesMatter. With that high torque on low rpm, we will see a day 1 accident on M3/M4. Considering that they are not AWD.

So, if you're (very) patient, I'll do you one better. I'll get you some drag strip numbers. But just not now. I don't own a draggy and couldn't get one in time here before I ship the car back to the states at the end of the month. I'll pick it up in Dallas in March and either drag it there or up in Maryland at my final destination. Bone stock these things are fast at the strip as Max Well has already shown us. Trust me, I can't wait to get mine on a quarter mile with summer tires.

Sport dashes updated too
They also flashed my displays during the remap. This is what they look like now. Notice the numbers! Also zoom in. Were the red dashes on the speedo before? I don't remember seeing them, but they look cool either way.

You go 0 to whatever in a car a lot more than you go from 70 to whatever. That's just how it is. This thing feels like it has stalled when you kick it from a standstill. Literally. I own one. Trust me. It is crazy. Doesn't bother me, and the part of driving I enjoy most is the part you are thinking of above. But if you don't think the M3/4 is going to be judged based on what it does from 0, you are dreaming. |

these complaints make sense in an SUV as you expect it to have low range torque (towing for example), so i can understand why people have an issue with the S58 when it comes to launching at a start or rolling off the line. its characteristics are much better suited for the upcoming M3/M4 in my opinion, not so much the F97/F98.
