So sometimes when I'm in Sport+ and in Manual mode or Sport mode, the car hesitates to upshift.

This is when I run Map 2 or Map 7 (with race fuel). Other conditions:

- full throttle
- lower speeds/gear
- usually there might have been some wheelspin

Just now, I was running Map 7 on 100 octane (93 mixed with 106) and the car was running very strong. I had it in Sport+ and the transmission in Sport. I was rolling at ~30mph and punched it. The car did spin tires and then it sounded like fuel cut (pops coming from exhaust)...then it shift. It was like a 2-3 second delay.

The question I have is...is this normal? And any way to avoid it?

Thank you!

If the wheels are spinning it's probably the DSC cutting power.... don't you see the light on the dash flashing?

I'll have to keep an eye out...but if I recall it was solid on..like when it's turned off when in Sport+.

it's not turned off in Sport+.... sport+ just have DTC active...

To fully turn it off you need to hold DSC button for 5 secs

sport+ will give you a bit more spin but it will only be off if you do the DSC button for 5 secs...

that's up to you.... just make sure there are not curbs to jump around

Don't really drive much with DSC OFF

But you don't want to be this guy

[Drpoomanchu]

Friends dont let friends drive with DSC off 😉

[Mywifes335]

Awwww man... Now you guys got me all paranoid.

Fine, I'll test out a launch with DSC OFF in a parking lot with no curbs or poles first.

THAT guy had a bad day...and a seriously bruised ego.

This guy is infamous on Jalopnik too. Friends don't let friends drive without a digital tire pressure gauge.

Ok back to the not shifting part....

Any of you guys experience it when there wasn't wheelspin?

Happened to me when I bought M3 and my 1st RWD. Fortunately there was alot of room for spinning, didn't hit anything or anyone
