I race competively and getting an M3 daily that’s RWD. I think all things being equal, the RWD will be more fun on track than AWD. Use the electronics, but learn vehicle dynamics. Which is why most all passenger cars are off the showroom floor designed to have inherent understeer. Wether power oversteer or lift oversteer, more accidents happen from this than the opposite, understeer. Not because stepping the rear out looks cool but because oversteer is typically more likely to get you into trouble.

#AWD DCT TRANSMISSION HOW TO#

Learn what’s happening and develop technique on how to use it. The rear stepping out “drama” as mention earlier is something that should be recognized and embraced. Relying on these electronics may allow you to have great times, but they will most certainly teach you how not to drive properly and create habits that can be dangerous on track. I think AWD in the new cars with all of their electronics are great and definitely good on track. AWD will have the safety advantage on wet tracks. I will say bmw has done a great job with making their AWD more track-worthy. I’m going to say RWD, especially if you’re going to track the car.

#AWD DCT TRANSMISSION PRO#

Yo if you have Mdrive pro and you turn it down significantly it definitely increases shift intensity That being said, The G80/82 is a great platform overall. The end result is what it is and it does not instantly grab the next gear and rocket you forward in a linear fashion like the DCT did in my GTR and my F80. There is a momentary pause - a boost drop, a throttle closure, a selection moment, whatever. I for one can feel a decrease in momentum, a non- linear drop in acceleration on gearshift. Maybe a transmission tune could improve the ZF function over what it is at the moment - idk. It’s a trade off, and BMW clearly weighed the pros vs cons and went with the ZF. But one can, and I do, feel a deficiency when compared to DCT on upshift. The ZF so far is better for a launching, at least in an unmodified car on the street. I have driven only DCT cars since 2010, so 11 years on a DCT. I can feel the difference, especially on upshift under WOT. I've really enjoyed driving and learning this car. It's obviously fast enough (I'm no pink slip racer), and the chassis is super solid (though it still has challenges reigning in all the power once you remove the TC, even in MDM mode).

Having said that, I'm very happy with my RWD, love the added challenge and drama of all that power in the rear, and can't wait to track it.and I have no plans to ever trade it in for AWD. AWD simply gives the best of both worlds in most circumstances. There's no real reason to get RWD, especially if you're going to track the car, unless you're trying to save money, or a little weight. It provides loads of performance and less drama in rear world conditions, and then you have the option of 2WD in certain circumstances, with loads of drama. For those that want maximum traction, just get the AWD. On the street, my RWD can certainly get squirrely, even at highway speeds when you floor it. For me, that's such a thrill on a closed course.

I'm not looking to have the best track times, I just want to push the car around at its limit. I have RWD and I'll be tracking mine next year.

#AWD DCT TRANSMISSION PROFESSIONAL#

On the track, if you want the best times, and you're not a professional driver, I'd get the AWD. The zf is not as crisp, but gets the job done. I drive an m4c zf and been in an m2c with dct on the same track. My opinion is that it will be track dependent and on most tracks, RWD with good tires will be edge out the AWD. It's a bummer that the DCT is gone, but we got the next best thing, which is a very solid and reliable performer even if it's not quite as engaging.Īs for AWD vs RWD, we'll have to wait and see which is faster on the track.

If you were driving blindfolded on the track, you wouldn't be able to tell which is which except for the sound on downshifts because the ZF doesn't have the same crisp roaring throttle blip / rev match.įor me it's actually on the street, where it's not as intense as on the track, where it's more noticeable that the ZF isn't quite as crisp and as engaging to shift as the DCT.īest thing to do is to test drive a comp and see for yourself.

#AWD DCT TRANSMISSION MANUAL#

In my opinion, on the track and in manual mode, both transmissions performed equally good and haven't noticed any difference. I've tracked both M2C with DCT and currently M4C with ZF.
