Just how much does the choice of transmission affect the dynamics and enjoyment of a car? We head to the test track to find out -
Nonetheless, arguably it renders gears three to six/seven in both manuals somewhat redundant on a B-road blast. Perhaps third isn’t totally redundant because the six-cylinder engines are both turbocharged and have maximum torque from 2300rpm and 2350rpm respectively, so you don’t feel totally cheated by short-shifting.
Add all this together and the result is that when you are braking as hard as you can into the hairpin and popping in a barrage of downchanges – bam, bam, bam – you can almost kid yourself that you’re in a race car. Likewise when you’re accelerating hard and pull a perfect, limiter-skimming upshift, there is a sense that it wouldn’t feel that different in an RSR.By contrast, the manual always feels like a road car gearbox.
Spending time in any CS is definitely worth it though. Regardless of the gearbox, the small BMW coupe’s chassis is a thing of pure joy. It is just so fantastically adjustable, as comfortable as a fireside armchair once you’re over the limit. This is highlighted on one particular run through a corner. I’m pottering round pondering ratios and then suddenly spot Aston Parrott giving the international sign for ‘stop pottering’.
