Doesnt seem like reving and switching back and forth between modes helps either.I feel as if you want to rev the car the transmission should be in neutral........
Iām guessing putting the transmission in park locks some gears together so the car canāt move like a trans brake for drag cars. Idunno, just venturing a guess
Most BMW's while in a "cold start" period, don't rev above 3000rpm, this is to protect the engine during the phase of warming the cats upI don't really like commenting on YouTube, so I'm gonna put it here.
The first issue he mentioned, happened to me as well. Funnily enough, this happened at the dealer when I was taking delivery.
I usually don't do it when engine is cold, but couldn't help myself. Just like he showed, it got stock at around 3000rpm. I didn't read too much into it as I was shutting the car off anyhow. I have not done this since. So, I don't know if it's still taking place..
After not being too impressed with revving, I'm not needlessly revving the car at any point.. Maybe once I get a catback or something that improves things.
2nd issue he's talking about, I don't know.. I get in the car and press sport and off I go. I did however previously mentioned that if I'm using Normal mode and stop-start kicks in, it's an abrupt sudden cut-off. Not smooth stopping like most other stop-start cars..
This is not that. It revs above 3000, but then does not fall down below 3000. it just stays there even after you depress the gas pedal!Most BMW's while in a "cold start" period, don't rev above 3000rpm, this is to protect the engine during the phase of warming the cats up
This kinda sound like maybe a bug in the software? Look like itās holding rev as if itās trying to launch control? Switching between comfort and sport may had trick the ecu to think it trying to go into launch. Just my thought.This is not that. It revs above 3000, but then does not fall down below 3000. it just stays there even after you depress the gas pedal!
Nailed it! If the poster of the youtube video is on here, your car is fine. Unless you made the video for clicks and youtube subs....then good on ya I guess hehBTW, I may come across as a jerk, but this is one reason I dislike YouTube sometimes. People will take the time to get dramatic and post a video when instead simply reading the owner's manual and/or understanding their car would be quicker. I realize some of the BMW behaviors and some of the auto start/stop behaviors are foreign to fresh Supra owners or people who haven't owned cars with modern emissions gimmicks like auto start/stop, but come on. I never thought I'd see the day when it's easier to film and post a panicked video than to consult the product instructions. I guess we're lucky it's a car and not an airplane....
