Did you do? Foot off brake - Press start to turn on car (but not start) - Press accelerator for about 45 seconds...all the to the floor - Press start to turn off car - Release accelerator - Waited 3 minutes, then started normally and drove off additionally this will sound stupid...but are you flat to the floor while accelerating down past the kick-down point? |

skip to 12:30... again without a stopwatch idk... best bet is to drive another M3/M4 and ensure it also is running all the latest updates. It's probably something bmw will fix with the CS or CSL versions and as long as it's the same ZF box, you probably can edit the tranny code like the last-gen for quicker speeds/snap up to a certain point. |

Quick update for everyone. I've been dealing with some personal stuff and busy at work lately but I'm still here.
I went to BMW of North Houston, they didn't even look at the car. I told them the issues and very clearly was informed "the car is fine there is no issue". I requested for them to at least look at it which they didn't care to since there were no obvious faults being displayed in iDrive. I eventually got them request an engineer from BMW to come out and drive the car with me. This should happen next week but I'm not holding my breath. I also opened a case with BMW NA on my car. I feel like this is going to turn into a bigger issue than needed but the cars shifting is still the same if not a hair worse than before now. I'm not sure why they are actively trying to not do anything, maybe there's something going on we aren't privy to? If everyone recalls there was a similar issue with the M550i shifting slower. Car and Driver called out BMW and they eventually issued an update that fixed the shifting speed of the ZF8 for that model. This issue is similar but not the same of course. I think BMW is intentionally sand bagging the performance for one reason or another, alternatively mine could simply have issues others do not. I am very skeptical of BMW's handling of things based on their behavior with the M550i so I'll let everyone know how things progress.

I was watching your videos trying to figure out what you were talking about. If I remember correctly, my '21 RWD g80 behaved the same way. I didnt think anything of it. |

Been reading this thread and the transmission issue seems odd to me. I have a G80 xdrive and if anything I've felt the shifts were very quick but without any drama (missing that from the DCT). Maybe this is an issue with your car specifically and not BMW sandbagging performance?

Honestly i would've stated something a bit more severe so they have no choice but to look at the car. I would go back? Or maybe go to another dealer and tell them something a bit different that way they can open a case, maybe have a technician ride with you while you drive of course, then you can perform the same thing you did in your video and go, "oh btw, does this seem normal to you as well?" Then you can show him the WOT shifts. But i think if you're explaining it to him, or even showing your youtube video, they would most likely not care enough to stop whatever work order they have to attend to your car. Not saying it's right, but i totally understand why they said what they said. SO i would play the same game back. Lie a bit about your car, explaining a situation far worse than it is, so you can get them in your car for a test drive and you can show them that part (the real part). Basically you have to lie to them lol. |

Not sure if that means anything and is just standard ZF8 shift times that look exaggerated in slow mo. EDIT: once you notice what I said above, and re-watch in normal speed you can visibly see the gear indicator change to the next gear and then there's about a second before the revs drop. It does look a bit slow (in this context). |

That's kinda crap but as you say, as long as no "faults" are present they're always going to wash their hands of any problem like this. I complained about a similar thing on my recent RS6 and they acknowledged the issue but said that's just how they are. At least the market is such you'll get most of your money back probably when you get the Cayman (if all things stay as they are)! |

Going to check out a 718 GTS tomorrow, if all goes well I'll likely say goodbye to my M3… only time will tell at this point. I simply want a car that is truly fun to drive again and I haven't felt that well with this one like how my M2 was

I test drove a used xdrive m4 today. I felt the transmission was slower than my F gen m2 but about the same responsiveness as my e90 m3. I don't know if that helps anyone with what "normal" is for the g8x m.
