Is it just me or have others noticed that roller coaster feeling when you really accelerate and you get that tickle in your stomach? ive been asking other bmw drivers about it and they seem not to noitce but i know its there, anyone else felt it?

hahahahahahaaa!!!!! i dunno about a "tickle" but when i play in manual mode i get an adrenaline rush once in a while...it does put a smile in my face , but definitely not a "tickle"!!!

unfortunately I have a 530, so it's not fast eough to give any sort of rush or "tickle". Maybe a V8 would do the trick...

Ha ha its all relative, if your used to it you wont feel it, but for your first or second blast it will be there, try going quick over a bridge and you'll feel it all day

I have the 530i as well it has just enough power to give you the rush

+1 it just depends on what gear and rpm are in

It depends on the road and my mood. From pure acceleration, I rarely get "excited". But there is a nice "hump" in one road going to work. If I accelerate to 60+ and go over it, I almost catch air. DSC can kick in sometimes. I can do this any time there's no traffic.

I am reminded there is also a special S curve on the Tail of the Dragon, an infamous stretch of road in the NC/TN mountains. It's 318 curves in 11 miles, many with nice banking. One S curve has a banked shallow right turn followed immediately by a banked shallow left turn. The banking is more than the curves need and switches immediately. At speed, the sudden change in banking is like a carnival ride and flips my stomach every time.

Tickle?

I think if you live in San Francisco, you'll feel a tickle, but definitely not in NY.
