I am still new-ish at manual so pls don't roast unless it some constructive criticism

[@hellaspower7546]

Don't rest your arm on the shift knob it wears out the synchros and the shift forks

[@DippinItUp1]

Nice video, just a few notes, slow your shifting movement down between gear changes, no need to slam it into each gear. Itll make for a far smoother gear to gear change. Second try and learn rev matching when down shifting. It will save the clutch and also make it smooth and not jerky when slowing down. Otherwise cool car, dont see too many E93 manuals

[@MichaelCow]

Yessir thank you ! I need to make an updated video with what I’ve learned. There has been a lot of helpful comments And yea I love this car, rowing gears with the top down is unmatched

The iPhone is sandwiched between headrest and seat 😂

Get the revs up higher on those downshifts and let the clutch out a bit quicker and youll be floatin

[@MichaelCow]

Thank you

[@playedbyear998]

great driving, I would just suggest learning how to rev match downshift. its better for the drivetrain and for overall driving experience. the car won't jerk jerk back when you downshift.

[@MichaelCow]

Yessir, thank you for watching ! I have been working on that, I want to upload a video soonish, hopefully showing my slight improvements.

im also driving an manual e92 320i, but for some reason i cant get a good feeling for the gas because its not a pedal like the break or clutch so its kinda hard for me to drive off and ion what i could change

[@MichaelCow]

DUDE! I understand exactly what you mean. I recently got a corvette, which is manual (of course) and the pedals are all normal (leverage point on top of pedal)- so when I go back and forth I find myself pushing on the top of the pedal in the Vette because I’m so used to the 335. it feels like I have no power, until I switch my foot to the bottom 😂😂

[@AndrewTateEPS]

@@MichaelCow ong other cars ive drove were much easier to drive, and also i dont want to rev to 3000rpm everytime i drive off with the bmw, especially the e92 has a weird clutch feedback in my opinion. at this point i would rather have a automatic

[@AndrewTateEPS]

@@MichaelCow and i got the same shoes, them dunks. i maybe thought its my foot placement but ion

[@MichaelCow]

@@AndrewTateEPS dunks go hard for daily drivers tbh But yea it’s annoying to deal with I agree 100%

[@Veyronp87]

hah gotta love 75, that was my commute forever. i know the feeling of getting on near downtown and just gunning it

[@MichaelCow]

Yessir 🏎

[@ivancvik]

Americans and manual gearbox just worg.

[@MichaelCow]

🥲

[@chrisdafurz]

@@MichaelCow it's not worg, dw you good

[@MichaelCow]

@@chrisdafurz thank you bro

[@bloodfarmer]

it's always funny seeing people comment about shifting in every manual transmission video on youtube, no matter how good you shift, there's always some random criticizing you and giving false advice lol. doubt these people even have driving licenses
