People complain about it, and it requires a little bit of shift cadence adjustment, but once you get used to it, you end up with a vehicle that moves in a way that you have no right to expect out of such a dinky motor. And that's setting aside what Happy has done.



Edit: Amusingly, 1/2/3 in the X5 are very similar to what I'm running in the E30 M3 if I had the rev limiter set at 6,500. With the rev limiter set to 8,900, though, it's a slightly different experience.

Yeah some do complain about it. I think the gearing is awesome! You are completely correct, it allows the beast to move!

So in other words Nick, that E30 pulls hard AF! LoL..!
