I think part of the issue that the MT gang here experience here is that, the system does not only match rev downshift, but also upshift (at least in my experience). That's the 1 -> 2 is awful and take practice.

Strongly suggest a clutch stop (as other's have suggested). BMW's have always grabbed high, Japanese cars typically grab low and the travel path is very short by comparison. You'll get used to it. I have yet to drive one buy my 6MT is 5 days away from port.
https://burgertuning.com/products/bm...06-mini-cooper I did a poll 4 years ago and was definitely late to the party with a clutch stop. Couldn't believe how many people use them compared to not. https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1449571

Glad things are feeling better! For me shifting was definitely jerky going 1-2 for the first few days of driving. Now I've gotten used to the bite point it's *much* smoother, I just thought it was a nuance of the BMW manual (p-car, audi before) I'm interested to hear if anyone has been able to do the CDV delete in the G8X. I would love to have better clutch accuracy... I mean, that's what you get the manual for right?

Every bmw mt Ive owned has this annoying stutter from 1st to 2nd. This might be heresy, but how have I been able to achieve a smooth 1-2 shift? Slip the clutch slightly! Instead of trying to synch throttle pedal down/clutch pedal up, get on the the throttle, and Then get off the clutch. Slipping it this way hasnt caused my clutch to wear out but it has eliminated the stutter.

Yes, I've always avoided this to reduce wear and tear, but really there is no way to drive these cars smoothly without slipping the clutch more than you otherwise would. And in reality, I don't think it's abusive or will even wear it noticeably faster since it's all at low speeds and relatively light loads. Both me and the car are slowly getting broken-in, and it's better. The secret, for me anyway, is to shift/declutch slowly. I won't win any races, but then, I don't need to.

Installed the one from BMS. Only $10 and takes 5 minutes to install on the G80/82 (you don't need to remove any interior panels like the instructions say; the clutch stop is fully exposed from the factory). Plus, the clutch stop is fully reversible for those that plan to lease the car (or didn't like the mod). Easily a no-brainer purchase I say! |

Due to kids growing up I am now considering a bigger car and the M3 may be one of the last manual enthusiasts option in its class, but I will follow your updates with interest as the driving experience is key for me and not being able to live with the gear shift feeling is showstopper for me and would potentially steer me to retaining my M2.

I have an F30 6MT and it works as advertised, felt weird to me at first. So I would guess the G80 works the same or better.

G80 m3 6mt 1st gear engagement issues!
Hi guys,
I just hit 2k miles and I love the car. However, I have been experiencing one main issue. Every so often when I am in neutral engaging into 1st gear it is almost as if the shifter gets stuck in between neutral and 1st. A weird clicking / resistance is feeling can be felt and just this morning the car snapped very abruptly back into neutral since the car was not fully engaged into 1st even though it said 1st gear on my cluster! Any one else experiencing this issue when going from N - 1st?! |

It's sounds the synchros are locked, it's happens to first quite frequently due to the size of the gear. If you have resistance trying to go into first just put the shifter into second then up into first should fix the problem. You don't need let off the clutch with the 2-1 change |

New car, old 'problem'. CDV was the solution 25 years ago on E39 6-speeds, whose engagement points were notoriously vague. I've had about two dozen BMWs over the years; even the best ones aren't as precise as Honda's best. Then again, they're often dealing with more torque or horsepower.
