Any opinions on double clutching to down shift with x-drive?
While I routinely do this in my E30 and Z3, in the X3 I've found it too hard to match revs on turns. (So I don't).
My thought is that while pausing in neutral, the front to back power distribution 'resets', so that when you move to a lower gear, you've lost the chance to make it smooth. (This is complete speculation.)
On a straightaway, X3 double clutching works fine.
Again, looking for opinions.
