Well at least he got to see his car at full throttle once before he traded it in.

I wouldn't have know about this and would be driving this car until the end, missing out this great feature and complaining all my life about the 8 speed hesitation!!!
So thank you Modthispny, Dchar, Duke, ALIENV8DER, and of course my twin Sick21!!! This thing feels like a V8 now.

Come on guys. Kick downs have been around for decades on German cars. Got to say I LOVE the 8 speed ... I thought it would be busy but it's perfect and really adds to the smooth luxury and sporty nature of this car.

Well I've never had a German car so I didn't know such thing existed!

Alright I just tried it on the freeway. This thing worked! Basically all the bad comments I made regarding the 8 speed tranny just throw it out the window! The car downshifts and jet away from everybody else when passing like it supposed to. I knew this car can do it but wasn't pushing hard enough, no more hesitation!
Man I'm loving this car even more now!!

Try it with the engine off first, so u can feel how the pedal works, then go for a drive.

Yes, and all this time when we thought this car is already at WOT but instead it's only at 90%. lol
