POWER TRAIN
THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE M-DCT AUTOMATED MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN THE E92 BMW M3. IT IS A RECURRING ISSUE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS, SAY WHEN COASTING AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN IT'S D MODE (AUTOMATIC LIKE MODE), WHEN YOU QUICKLY TRANSITION FROM LIGHT BRAKING TO MEDIUM THROTTLE APPLICATION THE VEHICLE BECOMES COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE TO THE GAS PEDAL INPUT AND OFFERS NO ACCELERATION. AFTER A DELAY OF A SECOND OR SO THE CAR WILL REV A BIT, SLIP THE CLUTCH AND ACCELERATE STRONGLY. THIS OCCURRENCE IS NOT UNIVERSAL BUT IS COMMON. ANY TIME YOU MAKE SUCH A TRANSITION AND REQUIRE THE VEHICLE TO "OBEY" AND ACCELERATE AS PER YOUR USE OF THE GAS PEDAL THE VEHICLES MARKED LACK OF ACCELERATION CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE. SUCH OBVIOUS CASES INCLUDE LANE CHANGES, INTERSECTIONS WITH A YIELD OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AFTER A TURN. THIS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD ON INTERNET MESSAGE BOARDS FOR OWNERS OF THIS CAR. *TR
