I disagreeid with you, and explained why, based on my own experience with my 2 autos. So far you have not given any reason why left foot braking to hold or change a gear before a bend is any faster or any better than using the change lever. and everyone with a clue > is wrong then I'll give him some respect.

A pathetic response from someone who has failed to answer any of my direct questions, and one who doesn't know that in a '96 5 speed BMW conventional auto, gears may be selected and held in the same way as those in a later 5 speed auto with steptronic. The last time I said that, you called me a liar. Prove it. Should be easy if it actually is untrue. The only real difference is that with the steptronic the shift lever is moved to a position where it is pushed or pulled to change gear up or down. In the conventional box the gear has to be selected by moving the shift lever to the appropriate number on the indicator. Apart from that the g/boxes behave the same. The problem with your argument is that it doesn't contain any details. All you appear to be saying is that left foot braking is the right way to be in the correct gear for or on a bend, with no explanation of what you actually mean. Seems to me that arguing with you is like trying to knit fog. You make statements, and then run away if anyone asks you to support them with further details. Mike.
