However in the 535d, the experience feels silly and very artificial. Because of the small usable rev range (1500-4000?) the motor management system keeps overruling the manual shifts. IMO the laidback nature of the diesel powertrain doesn't suit the manual mode.
Obviously, it could be a different story in a petrol F10. |
Yep. Similar experience with my 535d.
