As long as you have efficient coupled with D1 (for city traffic, stop/go), sport with D2 (for open roads/highway) and sport+ with D3/S3 (for track) you will just have a smile on ur face and not experience any issues

It's hard to accelerate this car rapidly but smoothly (e.g. half the throttle) from a full stop, like I can on the 535d with ZF8 where torque delivery is aggressive but smooth, perhaps thanks to the torque converter.
The M4 either wants to go gently or full WOT. Attempts to do something in between, fast and smoothly without jerking is usually... slow. And when it feels slow, adding more gas spins the tires or traction control engages. The torque is just too abrupt. For city driving, I like the 535d diesel torque with a slushbox much better -- it's much more usable, feels faster and doesn't spin tires. I also agree it takes some time to get used to DCT in Auto mode when accelerating from a stop properly and in sync with the computer's shifting algorithms, as others noted. I drive in manual and let the 1st gear rev up, then shift to 2nd manually. But overall I should note that I love DCT. For canyon and performance driving, it is pure joy... in contrary, I hated the ZF8 for canyon driving in other petrol BMWs I've driven because it feels so disconnected and has gazillion of gears.

What I have experienced is that, when slowing down to a gradual stop, it's almost like it won't shift into 2nd in time coming from 3rd and it starts bucking. Sometimes I have to manually shift it into 2nd.

DCT allows RPMs to drop to below 1200, and drivetrain starts shuddering. More pronounced in D1, still present in D2 with both Efficient and Sport throttle modes. May try D3 and Sport+ next, just to exhaust all options. The only solution seams to be to manually downshift as you approach a red light, which I enjoy doing to engine brake and stay in gear ready to accelerate as soon as the light turn green. a

The way i have combated it was... If I'm going to stop or slow down, I make sure to completely let off the gas. You can't feather the throttle as if you were trying to slow more gradually. that for sure endues the bucking behavior. Same thing for taking off from a stop (In Manual mode). There is a special "sweet spot" in there where the car will buck like crazy. You either need to be easy on the throttle, go commit to it. |

The sure 100% way to avoid bucking if you're getting it as you learn the DCT would be to leave it in Drive/Auto mode. Most buckers are people in manual mode. I never have bucking in auto, the DCT shifts to second pretty quickly in auto, in my car under moderately heavy throttle mashing in sport+ throttle and DCT on 2, it shifts at around 25/2700 rpms.

For this situation in particular, there is nothing to learn. This is in regular drive mode under normal driving conditions. Very annoying. |

If your in D mode, once the dam thing decides to actually shift into 2nd from 3rd.... Lol (it does not do this EVERY time I know) then you are good to go. But M mode, lock her in 2nd or even 3rd if you speed up a bit. |

I think you may have purchased the GhostMustang option...
All kidding aside, I have not had that experience, mainly because I'm still below the 1200 mile list and have not pushed "her" that hard. This is one powerful car. |

DSC cuts the balls off the F8X. As a minimum, go into MDM, but even then it will reign it back significantly.
The only way to truly appreciate the F8X power is with DSC off. Be warned though, you need to have quick hands if you elect to do so

DSC off sound too crazy for me. Just want to a bit fast and loud( so i can enjoy the engine noise). If i set the Throttle to Efficient. I dont think the car is quick enough. Please suggest a M setting. Thanks!

Ok, then I think your car is fine. My E90 with DCT did the same if you punched the throttle from standstill. Huge jump even with DSC off. There's a bit of a learning curve to take off fast and smooth with the DCT vs the ZF in your 650.
Give gas smoothly until you feel the clutch fully engaging, then punch it. If punching it is what you want. It's more rewarding to modulate in 1st and 2nd unless you want wheel spin. Last edited by solstice; 03-02-2015 at 09:02 PM.. |
