Many cars, like the Audi RS, A45 AMG and M cars, often have a crack/fart/burp noise when changing to a higher gear at full throttle. This noise isn't from clutch slippage obviously It's actually the ignition timing being pulled (or even shut off) for a brief period of time. This is done to drop engine torque and create a smoother transition to the next higher gear. Since ignition timing is pulled (or even shut off completely) unburnt fuel escapes to the exhaust manifold, where it ignites and makes the cracking noise You can even buy aftermarket WOT boxes that replicate this torque drop and creates a smoother shift, where you can keep the accelerator pedal to the floor during a WOT shift on a MT car. http://www.npcompleteperformance.com/wotbox |

This morning I went WOT in 2nd gear at around 30mph on a flat, straight surface with full DSC on. My tail wiggled about 1" to each side even with DSC fully on. Was surprised at how much movement it allowed. Pretty sure I scared a few other cars nearby....wasn't even intentional, was just the first time i went WOT in 2nd gear when the ambient temp was 51 degrees.

I agree that S3 is just too much in both throttle and shifting, but the good news is that it is there for people that like it. Quote:

Sorry, I just re-read my post.
It said my tail wiggled 1" to each side. It was meant to read 1' to either side, with full DSC on. In other words: I know BMW's DSC was intrusive, but I was blown away by how much the rear end moved laterally (in both directions) before DSC reined it back in this morning. And that was when I was accelerating in a straight line, already rolling, and went WOT in sport mode. Point being: 1. Maybe that intrusiveness is, here, in part because this car will wag it's tail for the slightest provocation or if a squirrel crosses the road. 2. My rear tires have written a letter to my attorney asking for a cease and desist, and I'm being gentle on them

I don't have a problem with it. It's a much lighter/smaller car than an M5 so I would assume it'll be at least a little more jerky. I love the transmission myself.

I was at my first trackday yesterday with my M4 with the DCT.
Setting was S2 and I didn't feel any jerks. Even shifted in a corner with 50% throttle just to test it and it didn't get unsettled at all. I'm very impressed with the M-DCT

Maybe a company will come out with some aftermarket software, or bmw will release an update in the future. They are always updating their software anyway, so maybe it's just a matter of time

The funny thing is that the M5 and M4 share the exact same transmission.

S3 Drivelogic setting too aggressive?
Coming out of an F10 M5, I automatically use shift speed 3 in the M4, but I find it is too aggressive for the M4. When I shift from 2nd to 3rd in WOT the car gets unsettled and the traction cuts in. Even in good weather but particularly worse in the damp weather we have now. Not sure why as the M 5 never did this and it's the same gearbox as far as I know. It's the only thing that annoys me about this car. Anyone else find this and sticks with shift speed 2??

Turn off traction control, problem solved. On more serious note, most people stick with S2 exactly because of what you described.

Have you tried getting the car coded for Euro MDM? This actually makes a world of the difference in power cut. i find it to be a nice in between for DSC ON and DSC OFF. In my opinion, the US spec MDM is way too inhibiting

I think OP's problem is that the M4 is much lighter than the M5 - weight appears to be the problem here IMO.
Combined with a CF driveshaft and you're going to have a car that you feel much more in. The M4 is just much more "direct". |

Is there any way to set up S2 as basic setting when I start the car? Thanks,

The DCT defaults to D1 on start-up but also default S mode in S2, so as soon as manually change a gear via the paddles or the lever (or if you flick the lever to the right) thr DCT will go into S2.
