Just to clear thing up lOl

Lexus,Acura,Infinti all are up for upshifts down for downshift

Bmw is up for downshifts down for upshifts

Merc is left for upshifts right for downshifts lOl

Its just hose the manufacture wants to design it

I personally Love the bmws tip but thats just me

Yep. Noticed that **** shifter reacts faster than the paddles. I thought it was just my imagination but after months of shifting between the two I noticed the **** works faster. Did not start a write up on this because ppl might think I'm overreacting or just imagining things.

So any idea why the heck would the shifter will be faster than paddles, they are all electronic switches. Unless the paddles are from a different bus system or something! It just makes no sense.
