My m240i will shift up in drive if I use paddles. So if in drive and I start pulling paddles it shift automatically. If the box is in s/d and start pulling paddles it didn’t change up. It just cuts the power
Been like that for a while with those DSGs they put in the S3 and Golf R etc. Caught me out on my R when its changed up automatically just before I pull the paddle and end up losing all power.
Yeah, inline 6 are only on mx40i like the m340i and m440i. At least it's better than a 4 cyl c63... Nothing against hybrids, I have one, but the amg 63 brand should keep a v8, if not possible call it a c55 or something

The Turbo creates more boost as you go up the gears to avoid spinning tyres as you pull away, so the BMW seems to give more boost as it goes into top gear....and it's not a Double clutch 🤔

@@MiraSubieGirl totally agree, think of how much diesel one cargo ship use to make a cros of Atlantic or how much CO2 produce one lare jet on intercontinental flights..
Natilyi M I totally agree with you, I hate EU restrictions when it comes to cars and new engine’s. I think some of them are ridiculous. I myself once owned a VW and enjoyed it, I’am not hating on the brand. I just found it quiet funny how much smoke this T-Roc left compare to BMW and Audi.
The German car won. Anyway, why is the SQ2 so muted? T-Roc I believe has same engine as SQ2, but T-Roc sounds so much better. X2 sounds the best though.
Guess there is something about the Audi is different? T Roc is essentially same car, but sound better, so is Audi putting on mufflers that’s muffle more sound than the VW version? If so is T Roc muffler compatible with SQ2? Maybe SQ2 owners can do a swap to T Roc R muffler if that’s the case.
Cameron Lepper Exactly, Audi must be doing something wrong here... anyway it doesn’t make the SQ2 bad, SQ2 still is very good car. Although my fav is the X2.
1, you should have used dynamic mode in the Audi, 2, the T-Roc is an RSQ3 competitor, not an SQ2 competitor. It is a higher class vehicle, c segment instead of b segment.
That BMWs map must have the power band at higher revs and gears the way it just sailed by others at 130mph, 6bhp and 50nm torque doesn’t give you that much of an advantage! Awesome video
4:37 : audi is in dynamic mode D5 but when they show the BMW later in the replay at 5:45 its in sport mode... I don't understand is audi dynamic same as sport for BMW? Or a mistake?
So many years after and so many people still say the Audi has a Lambo engine, its not!! The amount of part that are the same in the two engines you could probably hold in one hand.
Bmw changed to 6 almost at 130 mph, audi and vw were already în 6. So both vw group cars were changing more gears till 130 mph and being lighter they pulled faster but not on top end.
T-roc is like the one kid that you didn’t expect to do well in sports
The T toc is me
It actually looks the best
@Mystkal Diamond Meh, some people aren't brand douches.
Lmao
@Mystkal Diamond so, VW is a small cheap brand? If the car is well made, fast, and drives well, it's good enough for me.
“It changes gear for me even though I’m in manual mode” - sounds like Audi have invented the automatic gearbox again
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
