BMW X3M Transmission Kickdown (ZF8)

[@corvettezr1ism]

I love ZF that kick down was instant but pdk is slightly better along with being more mechanical too

[@straight6kris]

I definitely agree 👍

[@scherpebocht]

PDK is a slight bit faster i think, but ZF8 is really strong even trucks use ZF gearboxes

[@corvettezr1ism]

@@scherpebocht yes as far as torque converter automatics go there is nothing better than ZF

[@ArnavK-cm7zh]

Gotta keep the transmission in the sportiest setting

[@straight6kris]

I was trying to show a realistic kickdown, not many people drive around with the drivelogic all the way up. On my car it is set so the 3rd bar is essentially drag strip / track shifting and not comfortable to use daily

The S58 enginge and ZF 8 Speed are a match made in heaven… how do you find the ride quality. I heard it‘s very harsh.

[@februaryRL]

Ride quality is fine tbh, I daily my X3M in Boston too so you know im swerving to miss potholes lmao. I think everything about this car outweighs the suspension and regardless, I customized my M2 button to have everything sport plus but keep the suspension in comfort and its kinda nice ngl. Edit: added the word "button"

[@sveeny]

@@februaryRL thanks so much for your answer. I‘m considering an X3M for a daily as well. As my current daily‘s suspension is very rough though I‘m craving something at least semi comfortable now 😅

[@februaryRL]

@@sveeny oh I reccomend the X3M as a daily to any BMW enthusiast. Its also perfect size. Not too big and not too small for a crossover. What do you currently daily now?

[@sveeny]

@@februaryRL a Toyota GR Yaris 😅 before I daily‘d an M2.

[@straight6kris]

I don’t mind it! It’s not a cushiony ride but it’s definitely not harsh. People that don’t like it typically swap in a HAS kit or kw v3 coilovers and say it makes a big difference. I think I plan on doing the same in a couple months

[@matiasferrer3505]

Not to bad for a torque converter transmission...

[@miks564]

ZF8HP competes with the fastest transmissions out there. The best DCTs are faster but we’re talking of hundreds of a second.

[@adamfleischer2405]

How’s the MHD and XHP tunes treating you? Everything still going great?

[@S58-Etanolov]

No it’s not! Xhp transmission tune is a must have for every s58 owner!!!

[@MicroageHD]

The fckin carbon interior in an SUV. Give me a break wtf xD

[@straight6kris]

Had to do it! 😂

[@SKDYCAT]

this SUV will oblitetate most sports cars
