In Reply to: What % of M3 owners do you feel mis-shift? posted by Chucky on November 11, 2001 at 23:08:11:

Good luck!!!! I have not mis-shifted my car to this point, but when I am driving aggressivly I dont have the music cranked and am not carrying on an indepth conversation with a passanger in my car. In other words I am concentrating on DRIVING the car therefore less chance of mistakes! Also I think the point about the older cars or higher mileage cars having worm mounts and bushings could play a serious role in these mis-shift occurences1 My car only has 26.5K on it so its barely broken in! Again GOOD LUCK on your non aggressive driving. By the way these M3's look to be driven aggressivly. The car wont like it if you her through some twisty's now and again! lol!

At one time or another what % of owners do you think mis-shift the M3. Also .. when does it typically occur .. during normal daily driving, when the mind wanders off .. or during high speed aggressive driving? I am wondering because I am interested in a M3 but if I mis-shift I dont have 8-10k to shell out, and will literaly have to let the car sit in a corner (since warranty/insurance wont cover mis-shifts).. I dont plan on aggressive driving, but all this talk about mis-shifts in the m3, are freaking me out .. please advise.

Thanks
