what DCT setting will induce tire spin/chirp when shifting?

[mermar]

I have read about owners who experience such crisp shifts that they report some gear change induced tire spin. Im assuming when shifting from 1st to second - though would not be supriised if also from 2nd to 3rd.

Ive only had my M3 for a few weeks but have not felt the gear changes are so direct to cause tire chirp. Likely I have just not yet combined DCT settings with agressive driving to induce this. Would be great to expereince a little M-Diff induced slide as gears shift.

DSC would prevent that very early. You need to change to S6 mode, which is only selectable with DSC disabled, reason being that DSC would rule in with that sharp setting. S6 is also mandatory for enabling launch control mode for the same reason.

S6, traction off..

On a warm day with good pavement I definitely get some chirp from 1-2 and 2-3 WITH DSC still on in mode 5. DSC is in MDM mode however.

I'm also on 18 inch rims with 285 PSS tires in the back and I am running a bit more power than stock.

S5 with MDM gets the rubber singing for me.

MDM gets'er chirping all the way to 3rd

Like other posters, MDM chirps tires to third. Euro MDM makes it slip more so you get a bigger chirp ;p DSC off usually just gets wheel spin but I'm sure you could modulate it to just get some spin..

S5 w/euro mdm and gts dct software = perfection, while still retaining somewhat of a safety net if things go too far sideways

when i have it set to 5 (manual mode, non-MDM) i can get a chirp from 1-2-3 if i'm on it hard. mostly when i shift right at or just before 8k.

[Ezio]

i have reported chirps on a stock M3 DCT.

[a.wang]

Bone stock car, S5, shift at around 7500 and it'll just bang into gear. With the RPM's any higher for me the car just shifts smoother... I didnt need MDM or "Power" to get the chirps.

[swamp2]

On generally good and warm surfaces S4, S5 and S6 MDM or traction control off. WOT or very near WOT also required.

Having 295s in the rear does not help my car chirp!

[MRSSIIM3]

mine used to chirp with PS2 but with PSS i dont hear any chirp anymore

[fastmike]

After I got the GTS DCT software, I've noticed its a lot more harsh 2-3 shift on the S5, and brakes loose a bit.

I've also noticed shifting right at redline doesn't seem to shift as hard as shifting before redline.

I'll have to try that and compare. I usually shift at 8k. I thought we kept making power up until 8200+ rpm.

What brand? Do they rub?

[GVIFlyer]

This is an interesting thread for me. My 2012 335is shifted hard for me in "D", very hard.
My M3 setup D_5 does not shift hard. To achieve the shifts I got in the 335is in D, I have to go to S_6 in my M3.

[deletedelete]

I've chirped a few times even with all the nannies on in s5.

No !.Certainly not...!.,but when you had it too...you would understand why !
Actualy i wished that everyone had it on his ///M3 and feel the difference !
Than you would do the same thing that i do now,sharing the feeling about how good our ///M3 can be with the BPM/tune !
Hope this will help....
