Why is my m3 feel like this?

asloudasitgets · 03-30-2011, 12:18 AM

Ok i dont know how to explain my situation, but when ever i start from a dead stop and hit the has a bit harder than normal wether it be M mode or just in regular mode with paddles the car feels like it is bogging and at times it wont stop until i let off the gas for literally 10 seconds. I have never had a car where i stomp off the line feel like its slipping and wont stop until i leave it alone for 10 seconds or longer. Its like the car cant catch up with my speed with each gear. what the hell is going on? does anyone know what im talking about, i cant be the only one with this problem.

I noticed it after I got my car reflashed for the new DCT software. I wish I didn't do it. Is your car an '11? It jutters down to a stop from 4 to 2.

How about trying to gradually apply pressure and step lightly on the gas. No issues with that here

Same thing here. Even if I have been driving for hours, and i turn it off and then back on and try to rev so I can show a friend the exhaust note, it boggs down and won't let me for about 15 seconds. Weird.

What setting does this happen in? Try S5 or D5.

Mine only bogs if I'm aggressive in say D2.

Thats not normal behavior.

Mine bogs only at 2,800 rpm and only in 3rd gear, if I push the gas very aggresively...I thought it's a loss of traction, but no light on the dash...and then I thought it's probably under revved...

6MT here.

I've noticed this stupid 4 down to 2 thing when I come to a stop. I'd rather it just leave the gears alone in S mode which I'm always in and let me bring it down to 1 myself to start when I need to go again.... that's the point of S mode, have control. And for the most part I absolutely love it; its just that one stopping issue which really isn't that big of a deal, I just don't know why they wasted time programming that in.

Other than that I have no idea what the OP is talking about.... 2011.5 DCT here...

Hell mines a 2011 so wtf then... I have to live with it.

Could it be DSC? Try with DSC off, and report your results. Maybe your tires are worn out?
