Throttle lag after shift 6MT
What’s up y’all. I’ve had my 2020 m240i 6MT for a little over two years now. It has a BMS intake, VRSF catless dp, resonator delete, LUK 550i clutch, stage 2 BM3 OTS tune and spark plugs were changed at 26k (36k now)
I’m having an issue, not sure if everyone experiences this, and it’s more noticeable with the tune running, but I cannot figure out why this happens for the life of me. So essentially, If I’m doing a meaty pull, after I shift gears 2-3 and up, not really 1-2, the revs fall relatively quick considering the new clutch and engagement isn’t too rough. But when the revs fall and settle into the next gear, it’s almost like power is cut for an entire second. So even if I bang the next gear and everything goes smoothly, there’s still a whole second I have to wait before power comes back on despite my right foot going through the floorboards. If anyone has insight on this, if it’s normal, if it’s related to the tune, or anything else y’all can share ID appreciate it. This has been annoying me forever but I never really did too much research into it. |

Could be a bit of turbo lag. If you haven't done the CDV delete, the slow clutch engagement couldn be contributing to slippage. I get a little slip on 2-3 if I'm not aggressive enough.
Another thing to consider is upgrading the diverter valve to GFB DV+. This is supposed to help hold boost between shifts and has had a noticble effect on my shifts, especially 1-2. |

Experience the same on my 2017 M240i, full throttle to redline, then upshift (2-3), get a long second delay before the power returns.
Did remove the CDV, and have a Dinan Air Filter. Purchased the car used from a dealer, with the Dinan Air Filter, so don't know if it has a tune (doubt it). Interesting on the diverter valve upgrade. |

This was extensively discussed here, I think it may be the same issue https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1699999

I get the same issue occasionally, but it can happen under partial load or full throttle. Probably 2% of 2-3 shifts, I just lose power for a second with no explanation as to why.

I'm intrigued as why for some people this does not happen, or only happens "occasionally". In my case, this happens every single time I perform a full throttle upshift on my M2 Comp, regardless of how fast I am. Wonder if different engines/cars behave differenty

I know this sensation and power delay on the 2-3 shift. My M235 used to do this all the time when I was running the Dinan Sport cheap piggyback. I took it off and it went away. I then added the Dinantronics Stage 2 piggyback and never had the issue and I've been running this setup for 3 years now.
As JoanLluch provided a link to, the M2 group has been dealing with this issue in stock and modded N55 and S55 6MTs for years. Everything I'm reading and what I've personally experienced points to a stock tuning issue. From the datalogs I've seen, it looks like the DME sees excessive commanded torque immediately after a shift and it kills power with the intent being transmission preservation. I think the only reason I don't see it with my Dinantronics Stage 2 piggyback is because Dinan went to great lengths to keep their piggyback tune quite linear rather than the hard hitting torque you see with many flash tunes and less than ideal piggyback tunes. OP - Consider putting the stock intake back on and see if that fixes the issue. Also, does the issue happen in Sport+, Traction, or DSC modes? The thought being that maybe fun killing nannies in the Comfort and Sport modes are sensing or expecting some wheel spin on the shift, thus killing power. I know that the nannies can be very aggressive, especially if you don't have an LSD. I ran without an LSD to 2 years and the nannies were constantly intervening and killing power in Sport mode.
