Don't stress your brain cell, just think for a second... It's 150 yards from your house to the end of the street. The motor is stone cold. You run it up to 2500rpm between your house and the stop sign, then hit the brakes or the clutch to pull the next gear and then hit the brakes. Really? Why would you even _want_ to do that? There's no point in hitting that engine speed when the motor is still cold AND the distance from Start to Stop is so short. You, sir, are one stupid idiot. I happen to live on precisely that street, and I have the chance to do that everytime I leave my driveway, and I can count on one hand the number of times when I have actually done it, and none of them were on a cold engine. None. Not any. There is absolutely no valid reason to treat a car that way unless you give your passengers a barf bag. So, **** you. |

Jeff, Let me settle this argument you seem to have with anyone that has a different point of view. It's my car, it's my decision to run a cold engine all the way up to 2500 RPM. Give it a ****ing rest! |

Do what you want, I just wondered out loud why one would get the engine speed up so high in such a short distance. I get annoyed with Dizzy (who would call theirself Dizzy, anyhow?) when he takes things out of context and then says because he has never had it happen then it never happens. You said that you run the engine up and then clutch, and the engine dies. That's really the only issue here. Personally, I wonder why the engine would run so fast in so short a distance, but that has nothing to do with the problem you are having. My cars don't have the problem you have, but I have heard of lots of people having it, and it is not unique to the M3, so you can broaden your search a little and perhaps get an answer to help you. You might also want to visit E46Fanatics.com and do a search. Your trouble -- the engine dies during a shift when cold -- seems to be pretty common among E46 owners. |

The same reason you upshift at any other time you fscking idiot. So you can move-along at reasonable speed, while at a reasonable RPM. 150 yards in first gear, and keeping it below 2000 RPM all the time? Really? FFS, what a dimwit! >Let me settle this argument you seem to have with anyone that has a >different point of view.

As if it's it's any difference to the engine if it's doing 1500 or 2500 RPM, under light load. Jeffy must think there's some magical RPM where "OK" becomes "abusive". |

Shifting between 2000 and 2500 RPM is not "so high". In fact, upshifting smallish, high-RPM motors below 2000 RPM is wierdly low. Hell, on my (manual) Supra, I essentially never operate the engine below 2000 RPM. The motor is not happy running that slowly. >> I get annoyed with Dizzy (who >>would call theirself Dizzy, anyhow?) when he takes things out of context and >>then says because he has never had it happen then it never happens. You are a bald-faced liar, Jeffy. Unless you can point-out where I said "it never happens"? This is absolutely typical for the lying idiot Jeffy. I took nothing out of context. I also didn't say "it never happens". It's Jeffy who took an extreme, ridiculous position ("almost all cars"), not me! >>You might also want to visit E46Fanatics.com and do a search. Your >>trouble -- the engine dies during a shift when cold -- seems to be pretty >>common among E46 owners. Again, Jeffy is too ****ing *stupid* to understand that what is posted in forums is not representive of all owners. People go to forums asking for help and advice, when they have a problem. >For the last time... S T F U ! 8) |

It is not Dizzy's car with the issue.
I am wondering why all of you have to resort to swearing. Just agree to differ... FWIW I would not run my car at high revs immediately on starting in cold weather either (but then I do not have a BMW...) - next time I'll look to see what the revs are.
