    One thing not mentioned is that when in D for example, when you move to Sequential Shift Mode (or manual), the car will continue to stay in manual mode until you physically push the shift lever rightwards to bring it back to D. Also, anytime you use the +/- (stalk or paddles) the car automatically goes into manual mode and stays in manual mode until it is physically taken out of manual mode. I actually love the DCT when used with the +/- function on the stalk. Not so much using the paddles.

    • @kenfldude
      @kenfldude 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      VAE Tech I agree, the shifter gives you the best of both worlds. You do have to be aware when you have it in manual mode. It will downshift by itself as you slow down but it won’t upshift until you initiate it.

    When you switch off your DCT M car in neutral which activates the fault message, you don't have to restart the engine to put the gear to D/R, you just need to press the "start/stop" button again with foot off any pedal. The car will automatically engage Park.

  • @karlslicher8520
    @karlslicher8520 5 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    To clarify, the three gear change settings effect what gear it holds for a given speed in auto, kickdown and very slightly but not much on the shift up if at full throttle as that is always maximum acceleration in any auto settings. The same three settings also effect the quickness and therefore harshness of manual shifts when paddle shifting as it does to slightly improved the maximum acceleration in D2 and D3 automatic mode. Care need be taken to not accidentally engage manual from automatic with an unintended press of ether paddle when driving this DCT.

    The DCT is designed to resemble a manual because BMWs are for driving fanatics and the way you park a manual is leave it in gear so the DCT tries to resemble that so truning the engine off in D or R makes the car go in Park

  • @MadelnMachines
    @MadelnMachines 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As a life long manual driver this all seems very complicated and confusing. Once it's in manual mode will it sometimes take over and try to over ride you sometimes or second guess what you want to do? Also I would have thought pulling back should shift down and pushing forward should shift up - can you change it? Are autos much less annoying in traffic jams? What is the procedure for using one in traffic jams?

    • @visionist7
      @visionist7 ปีที่แล้ว

      In full manual mode it will downshift to stop you stalling but it won't upshift if you redline it - you have full control there. Also, having the lever back for upshifts and forward for downshifts is the race car layout (Porsche do it too). It follows the natural rhythm of the car's motion; towards the motion of acceleration when upshifting (pushing you into your seat) and deceleration when downshifting.
      These are the things that set a proper sports car apart from comfort cars like Mercedes or Audi.
      In traffic jams you apply the brake pedal and the car will stop, and you shift to neutral in one quick & easy motion of the lever if you don't wanna stand on the brakes whilst waiting, and back again for auto or manual when setting off. A hair of throttle is necessary to get going again, DCTs don't automatically "creep" like a slushbox auto. One thing Mercedes gets right is the "hold" function on their conventional automatics, which lets you release the brake pedal but the brakes stay applied (brake lights dim to not blind cars behind) until you feather the throttle, whereupon the car will crawl forward as long as you lightly hold the throttle and automatically brake again when you come off the pedal.
      I got used to it in an hour or so coming from only manual cars my whole life.

    • @TheFilwud
      @TheFilwud ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@visionist7 My 2016 530d also does that, with the 8 speed ZF transmission, it has auto-hold. if selected, when you brake to a halt it will automatically keep the brake applied until you touch the throttle to move again, works well with the starty stoppy engine thing if you so desire as well. Or you can turn auto-hold off and have the car creep whenever you release the brake as is normal for a torque converter box.

  • @manoliszafeiris7392
    @manoliszafeiris7392 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The speed settings on the gear have any role on manual shift mode or no? Because if you go to M button it has d1 d2 d3 for auto mode and s1 s2 and s3 for manual mode. What's the purpose of this if it's in manual mode?

    what are the "shift points"? are those taller gears where the engine will rev higher before shifting to the next gear?

    • @virt4973
      @virt4973 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      john the shift points depends on the rps the highest u put it to ( which is the 3 lines ) the faster the car will go in each gear because it will get the most out of that gear because it will only switch to the next gear when it’s used about the maximum capacity right before it red lines.

  • @markcastle919
    @markcastle919 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just go a 2016 M4 with DCT. When the car stops it does not crawl forward like a normal automatic. This could be a problem when parking. Am I missing something?

    • @ECPP
      @ECPP  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is normal since the DCT is more like a manual and operates dufferentoy. You need to get some throttle input to move with these.

    • @Tangent360
      @Tangent360 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      To creep forward you just need to give the gas a very slight tap. There's no need to stay on the throttle, just give it that tap. It'll maintain a relatively slow creep forward (or backwards if you're in reverse of course) just like an automatic until you come to a full stop again or give it more gas to start moving faster. Be aware that on a cold start when the engine is revving higher that creep can be surprisingly fast if you're not ready for it.

    • @kenfldude
      @kenfldude 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Excellent advice by tangent 360, you will need to be careful on inclines and declines as well. The dct will hold your position for 2 secs and then will roll. Unlike a torque converter transmission that holds you in place. There is a learning curve to the dct but well worth it in performance.

    when you're in Manual mode, does the brake act as the clutch in manual transmissions? so you need to ease into the gas while slowly removing your foot from the brake?
