Thanks randomtask, That might be the case, but when I do have it up that high it's not very smooth and the revs sound really high. I don't look at the rpm's like I should. Ill try it tomorrow and see how it works out -
sounds like you need more practice. its possible the AFM is gunked up or something, but i doubt it.
to me it sounds like you are fully engaging the clutch at low rpms- maybe around 750-1000, then hitting the gas and the tq isnt kicking in until 3000ish rpms. to get up and go a little quicker you actually need to let the clutch slip some while keeping the rpms higher.
if you really need to get up and go, get the revs up between 2500-4000 and keep them there while your engaging the clutch. dont just drop the clutch, or you will stall or burn out depending on how much throttle your applying
as you let the clutch out, manipulate the throttle to keep the revs up around 3000+rpms. keep the revs up by adding throttle as you release the clutch.
the goal here is to launch without having the clutch fully engaged below 3000rpms
i dont know if that made any sense, but i tried.Leave a comment:

87 5spd situation......
Hey guys I bought an 87 325is 5spd a couple days ago and while I'm taking off in first it feels as if the car is lagging. Not enough umf. Idk if I just can't find the bite point or what (haven't driven stick in a while). There is no grinding or pop outs. Shifts perfect but I feel like a slug taking off :(
So what could be the problem/solution?
Would a different diff work? Upgraded maf? Chip? Maybe a new clutch?
Or do I just need to learn how to drive lol
