I also found out by accident that sometimes car will re-start engine for you when you accidentally stalls it. My driveway is inclined, like 7 percent gradient? and I stalled it going up... lol pretty embarrassing but to my surprise there was brief suggestion on the dash to shift down to N and when I did it fired right up again! I was pleasantly surprised haha.

Interesting.....I haven't stall my car since gotten it last year. I might have to stall it on purpose just to experience this lol.

Is removing the Clutch Delay Valve (CDV Delete) still a thing? A LOT of folks did it to their 135i to aid in 6MT predictability.

Or the combination too much/too little. In sport+ I often do too much, then back off the throttle too much and lug 😂

Shouldn’t be sometimes. Should be every time you stall you just push clutch back in and engine re-starts (works similar to A/S/S).

I did remove the CDV valve and also have stalled once... and I was almost shocked when I pushed the clutch in and it re-fired !! No manual I've ever had did that... COOL !
I'm really enjoying driving the manual, even in city traffic but I really wish 1st was a little longer.. coming off the line from a light is painful unless you hammer it.. I have PDK and Getrag cars and they would leave the manual like it was DOA.. but there's nothing like a manual...and yes, I'm old...
