Flappy Paddle Question

[ghueser]

In anticipation of getting an M5, (Jan 2nd ) I have been reading up on the Manual. I have seen where other cars that use the 7 Spped DCT reference that the car goes into Neutral when pulling on both paddles at the same time. Does the M do this as well?

[skypx]

Nope.

The right question is why doesn't it. Also why does it have some BS creep mode.

But beside that it's a great car.

There's other threads on this, p cars do it so you rev engine without manually going to neutral, think merc may do too, but not our beasts unfortunately.

Have to say - I like creep mode - I use it for parking situations.

[RPiM5]

I like creep mode too. You just have to be cognizant that when you use creep mode, you must use the brake if you want to stop. The first time I used it in my garage, I almost ran into the wall. Lol!

I like creep mode as well, great for stop and go traffic when the car is your DD.

i apologize for the ignorance but what creep mode??

felt like a manual car to me on neutral if I let off the brake on a complete stop.. meaning it will fall back on a incline or roll forward on a slight decline.

[saflang]

Brakes are still applied for 2 seconds to prevent rollback.

But creep mode is when from Neutral you tap the accelerator and the car engages 1st gear and then will essentially go into cruise control at 6-10km/h simulating creeping in an automatic.

The creep....

Does the LCI creep too? Had a few beers (it is night here, I'm not a raving alcoholic) so can't try it till tomorrow.

I am assuming revving the motor in Neutral will not make it creep.. I take it you just need to tap it? Will try it sometime...

Yes LCI has creep mode (Low Speed Assistant) & we have it in the UK. Great in stop start traffic/parking - brake to a stop in D & car doesn't move (and, assuming level surface, will not roll once brakes are released). Gently tap the accelerator/throttle pedal and the engine speed is automatically controlled (low/mimimum speed). Also works in reverse. Will stay at low speed with your foot off the accelerator pedal and as RPi says above will only deactivate when you brake to a stop.

I have not tried it extensively enough, but in theory should remain on if you accelerate to a higher speed then lift off accelerator pedal and slow down to minimum speed with engine braking only or don't brake to a stop.

Obviously use with care!

I was not aware this also works from N (I've never tried that)?

[saflang]

Sorry not from N, only from Drive. What I meant to say that was in Drive, with the brake off the car's clutch is disengaged (thus Neutral) and that's why it can roll back/forward after 2 seconds. But tapping the gas then puts it into creep mode.

Oh right, understood; will not be trying it from N then. I've hardly tried any of the various driving modes yet and there seems to be a few not detailed in the manual - shouldn't be getting bored of this car any time soon hopefully!
