I regularly downshift to first gear, but I guess I will have to rev match it myself, like I have done the last 25 years or so. I sometimes double declutch it as well, to make it smoother. You can feel it in the shifter that it really makes a difference when going to first. |

My manual gearbox is not likely to auto shift to first gear! :-)
You can of course over rev the engine by going to first gear at more than 50 km/h or so, but as long as you keep track of how fast you are going, that will not happen. |

After a track day today, I found out that the car is not rev matching at all with DSC Off.
And the new LCI 118i is a couple of seconds slower around the track then the pre facelift 116i. They have the same specs, but I suspect the N13 had a lot more power than indicated. The B38 is probably performing according to the specs. The wide M-Sport runflats are slower than the tyres I was running before, and the heavy M-Sport brakes are also not helping when you want a quick lap. |
