Yesterday with my brother in my car we took off in a straight line, I took first gear up to 6000 shifted into second and again some kind of safety kicks in until I let off the gas then I could punch it and hit third gear. My DSC was off and I was in sport mode. This only happens when I'm shifting into second, no problems shifting into third. Does BMW have some kind of built in safety in there manual transmission? When this condition happens it feels like the power is cut in half my rpm's are at 6000 and my speed is 40 mph. My car should be hooking up and pulling away hard. Like I said when I let off the throttle and then punch it my car takes off, but by the time that happens a few seconds are lost.
