I was wondering how many of you out there ever short shift our E36's. By this I dont mean shifting early... I mean when you don't engage the clutch at all during shifting. I guess theres an rpm at which the gears are mated and you can just pull the stick straight down, say for shorting 1st to 2nd??? I don't have experinece with this but am curious what the correct rpms are.

NJdrive '94 325is

hmm ive heard of people doing this .. but i heard its real bad for the car .. but i never personally tried it ..
