Hey everyone, I just got my M5 (this sunday. 2001 black) and I can't stop smilling every time I look at it. I love it.
I've been driving it around town, no freeway yet. I have a question about shifting. Whenever I go from 1st to 2nd at anything above 2,000 RPMs it kind of stops all of a sudden, slows down, then keeps going steadily. Same with shifting from 3rd to 4th, and 5th to 6th. It's getting kind of annoying, especially since my old 97 F350 didn't have that problem. I could get upto 4,000RPMs and then shift and the truck would just smooth out and show no signs of slowing down, it wouldn't just CLUNK and slow down abruptly like the M5...almost as if applying the brakes while shifting. Any suggestions on why this may be?
Thanks,
Rudy
