Wow that really ticks me off. Another electronic nanny that we didn't ask for.
So if the driver wants to double clutch and the rev-match speed is above 4000rpm, they have to have a messy downshift. Great work BMW.
Is this rev limit at 4000rpm in place when you're in gear and you have the clutch pedal pushed down?

Launching the car at that high rpm will just create wheel spin. And if you have an auto, there's no need to neutral drop the car.....

There's absolutely no need to 'double clutch' when you're transmission has syncros and I said nothing to the extent of rev matching (which can be done with a single actuation of the clutch).

He was referring to a rev-match above 4k RPM - applies to both rev-match and "double-clutch."

good to know. 4k is enough for an autocross launch - actually it's just about perfect. one less thing to think about on the line.
(sounds good - we'll see when the moment arrives... :-) )

Ps: going down to first on a pin turn I have doubled with the revs over 4k - it's rare but it happens once in a while. Hopefully the nanny does know the difference between neutral with the wheels moving and neutral while stationary. I'll put that on the test agenda for early spring just so I don't ever get surprised...

I'm just referring to if someone decided to do it. I always just push the clutch in and rev-match with heel/toe. But there is still the open question if the ECU limits speed to 4000rpm when the clutch is in. If so, screw the 2013.

I'm almost certain that's not the case....I can still rev match over 4k.
I just can't get my rpms over 4k when in neutral and stationary..(clutch is not pressed in)
Normally I don't even rev the car that high when stationary because its not
necessary....but my friend wanted to hear the pop and burble...that's when I discovered it wouldn't rev over the 4k mark.
