No more handbrake turns for M cars.

I bet half the new generation of M employees don't even know how to heel start a manual car.

It doesn't grab well because it's set to be 8 or so clicks for full hold from the factory.

You have to manually adjust the knob inside the hub so it grabs around 3-4 clicks. Works fine after that.
