My Ride: Now Driving a Freakin' Prius!
Was...
2004 545i | SMG | White/Black | Sport | NAV | Logic 7 | PDC | Fold-down Seats | Adaptive Headlights | Cold Weather Pkg | Clear-again Bra | Mud Flaps | Bluetooth | Coat Hangar | Aux Input | All Weather Mats | 18"X8.5" BBS RK w/ Michelin Pilot Alpin's (winter) | New steering rack @ 1.2K & 17K miles| Software V.19.1 | B&B Exhaust (vrrrroooooommm!) <---Click.
Actually AA is more than mashing the gas. It'll basically do a clutch dump at around 4K RPM. I wish that it had the paddle engage like the M. It would make the launch much more predictable. The shift from 1 to 2 and 3 to 4 (and I guess 4 to 5) are extremely quick as well.

It shifts "very" hard! Now that I have good rubber again, both tires will spin until it hooks up. Once the tires get worn, however, it is a right-side-only smoke show and that's it. (Why no LSD??????)

Yup. Last time I checked I was still in the good ole US of A.
I'll try to get a better vid in the near future. (Timing is everything).

Sorry for bumping this Realty and making people hog up your bandwidth but is it "near future" yet?

I've been through a server change or two and some of the non-business stuff (this stuff) didn't get transferred over.
So not only do I not have new AA vid, but the old links are not working either. Sorry.
I'll see if I can get it working as well as take new vid.
If I could only upload vid here, none of this would get lost.

Have you tried your G-meter with AA yet? And, is it a G-Tech?
