BMW M3 CSL in car Japan Central Circuit (E46)

[mzoziety]

Suspension setting looks a little too stiff for the bumpy track.

@fakuoka I referring faster as SMG>>>manual. racing wheel also has an option with a button layout. it can be buttons for the radio and also for shifting gears. if you can't see them in front of your face, doesn't mean they're not behind of that wheel! lol

[ordona7]

people dont know anything about m3's. its SMG....

[maxou100]

He's Not using paddle it is automatic are a bunch of moron!

[ilgas11]

@maxou100 its not a stock wheel, so you can't see the paddles, but if you would know anything about cars, you would know how automatic gearbox sounds.

[HarunIresit]

Once again, Japan is the place to be. The tuning cultere is so hardcore there, respect respect respect!

[krnz3]

That's why it can shift faster then you? Because it's "so much garbage" ?

[MadeoN]

He's using the paddles to shift. SMG stands for Sequential MANUAL Gearbox, it's essentially a normal manual gearbox with a hydraulic clutch.

[takumi587]

I know you said this a year ago but he is not using paddle shifters in this video. He changed the steering column with the paddles meaning it prolly is in Auto. I mean listen to the engine. You don't hear him downshifting one by one like the paddles let you hear. It goes straight down to a lower gear meaning the automatic did it.

[MadeoN]

You can clearly see the paddles behind the steeringwheel. And I don't understand what you mean by the downshifting. It's normal SMG downshifts, one at a time.

[ilgas11]

@takumi587 hmm, no... if that would be in auto mode, it would never change gears in time after hard braking. Even in manual mode, you still need to down shift for your self to keep RPM's higher, unless your going for a full stop...I use to own 2 M3's and now an M5, I sure know what I drive...

[KuostA]

paddleshifters?

[ilgas11]

SMG...CSL coming only with this gearbox

[KuostA]

erm...so he's not pattleshifting..it's totally automatic?

[RussRamz]

No, he's shifting with the tips of his fingers. It's a sequential gearbox that is activated electronically and with hydraulic control.

[ilgas11]

yes

[KuostA]

wow how gay

[ilgas11]

try to shift faster...this is racing car my friend, and every 0,1sec is important

[jaslui119]

@ilgas11

I dont really see a problem with his shifting. Up or down shift.  Its nice and fluid.

[ilgas11]

@jaslui119 where did I say I have a problem with his shifting? its an SMG gearbox, there shouldn't be any problems with shifting at any time and its faster than manual, thats why I said that every 0,1sec is important when you race.

[fakuoka]

@ilgas11 It's automatic you prick!

[ilgas11]

@fakuoka its SMG you idiot! (sequetial manual gearbox) I bet you never drove anything "M" powered!

[fakuoka]

@ilgas11 Yes, I know it's an SMG. I don't know if you are blind or something but he doesnt have any paddles on this steeringwheel! He's driving in AUTOMATIC mode... So please, tell me how he can shift faster? Wanker..! Btw, if he had the original steeringwheel with paddles, he wouldnt be able to improve the shifting anyway because you just have to flip the paddle, if you didnt know that..
