What you said is very true, so you would you spend
250 to 400 so you don't have to leave it on "3"
and on "A" mode? I don't mean to be rude, but I
wouldn't spend that money for that.

Also, on the kick down method, when you press
the accelerator, to apoint that it won't go no
more, but with a little more applied pressure and
it will go down more? That's kickdown method.

You know, on dyno (charts) and watching it run
physically on a dyno (air intake removed and boot
too), the kick down method, the plate isn't
parallel to the ground?

I've also seen the dyno charts on 95 M3, and that
confirms it also, the kick down method doesn't
pull more hp than conventonal flooring.
