Hey guys,

Here's another issue or just wanting to know.

What is the proper way to shift the SMG E60

From the previous owner told me, whenever I have to shift and when I'm using SMG manual I usually let go of the accelerator pedal when I shift to 2,3,4,5 and 6.

Now another person mentioned to me that I can leave my foot on the Gas pedal while I'm shifting up to 2,3,4 etc....

What is the proper way to do it.....?

You do not need to take your foot off the gas pedal when shifting, however, if you find it too harsh in the shift, you may want to lightly 'feather' off the gas to get a smoother shift ( if that is what you are after) good luck
