What the hell is going on between 1st and 3rd. In city driving i feel the car is pushing me too much for no reason im pushing throtle smoothly nd the shifts feel uncoordinated with the engine jerky also. Chassis is amazing engine feels like its over working although u can hear the turbos alot which is nice. On highway at 160kmh is much smoother and comfortable than my m3. Tried all modes manual sport + traction off... i feel this car is amazing but they fucked it with the transmission.
Ill try tune but i doubt it ll do much? Very unfortunate from bmw that they fucked the last units of rwd 1 series on a petrol engine specially they suouldve sent it off with a proper auto transmission.
Thanks

The dual-clutches from both VW and BMW are wayyyyy better than the ZF8 (in a BMW).
