ok buddy what i do is , i get it to like 4- 5 grand rpm , and leave the clutch half depressed then let it off all the way within a second, i like torip first gear get it up to about 6,000 rpm and put it into second rev it up to about the same rpm and pop the clutch right off squaling the tires. to get a quicker start bro jsut bring the rpm's higher and let off the cluthc a bit faster , BUT SMOOTHER !! good luck. and practise makes perfect dont expect to get it right away

thanks kman! will do!
but i was told that bmw have ****loads more torque than other cars, so bring it up past 3000 or 4000 is ill advised..... but i'll see. if it feels like the car is breaking down [:-], then i'll chill.
peace

no i got it i got it. i practiced for about 20 mins in a parking lot. start, buck, stop. start, faster, less buck, stop. etc... i think i've pretty much got it now, but im still a lil shaky about it on the road.

thanks guys, for all ur help.

i figured out that its all about calibration. the faster u let off the clutch the faster u should put the gas. practice... calibration... naturality. thats it.

poor poor beater BMW....Don't burn up your dad's tires or his clutch. Man up and buy your own car to beat on.
