How often do u find yourself winding out first and second gear when acclerating hard, im just wondering how many times other ppl do it ... just so i can see where i stand

mg4734 · 07-10-2013, 09:13 PM

2-3 times a week maybe, getting on the highway. But I shift at 4-4500 with some regularity

Dylanize · 07-10-2013, 09:55 PM

Not often. But you 335 guys are probably more tempted!

Especially when there is a hot blonde girl or group of girls

in any case, I red-line it every time I accelerate hard.

Not sure if serious orrrrrr.....

Just 1st gear I wind out sparingly to 5500. No point going to redline since torque tapers way off. 2nd gear with my muffler delete, 4000rpm has such a nice tone.

After getting the car just last week I tend to wind it up daily, not red-lining but getting into the 5's often

So fun haha.

I can't help myself when I know I'm in a good acoustic area or coming up on a nice little turn.

Bobby_Sardells · 07-11-2013, 06:10 AM

redlining in any gear above first will be speeding you rebel lol

with catless dp + PE exhaust, letting off throttle completely at 4500-5000RPM can scare people!

ahhahaha

vince217 · 07-11-2013, 08:06 AM

i do it whenever my kids are in the car and they request it. i dont try to go over the set speed limit, i just hold gear in 1st and 2nd longer.

even though its 'just' a 328i, the sound and thrust make them feel like they are in a real race car.

Everyone knows that girls like J-turns and not exhaust note.

JAL0988 · 07-11-2013, 09:02 AM

20 times a day at least.....and I'm not kidding

not a terrible idea

Antetokounmpo · 07-11-2013, 10:56 AM

Usually I'll wind it out to about 5k in 2nd when getting onto the highway or a faster road but I try to shift before 3500 in first. There's so much torque in a 335i there's really no need to downshift or wind out 1st and 2nd to accelerate quickly.

StevenY. · 07-11-2013, 11:01 AM

I do it pretty often, it's way too tempting. Especially when the window is down, the exhaust just wakes up.

Fillyo75 · 07-11-2013, 11:17 AM

I would say on a daily basis, I have a 60 mile round trip commute. With the JB4, acceleration above 50MPH is effortless and addicting!

smallseafishie · 07-11-2013, 11:51 AM

I stopped doing it. Supposedly it's considered racing.

Am I suppose to realize that a S5 Audi was next to me?!
