Automatic Throttle blips with manual transmission

Anyone know of Automatic Throttle blips with MT in F10 M5 when downshifting? Just like DCT would do. I heard about this months back and it was supposed to already be on MT standard F10 5 series. Sounds absurd.

Anyone know?

Why would anyone want that?
That's the whole point of a MT, doing everything yourself.
Can't heel and toe? Drive AT then.

I have been waiting for BMW to offer this feature on a US spec M car. The auto blip comes from the BMW motorsport division on the GT4 software.

It definately takes out some of the skill to heel toe, but its a nice feature that allows anyone to have seamless manual shifts. I've tried the system the offer in the 370Z and it was surprisingly good.

It isn't that hard te learn, just put the car in neutral, hold the brake and blip the throttle a few times. That's how I get to know the car whenever I get into a MT car I havent driven before.
And even if you haven't done it before, just imagine doing it will help you a lot.
I bet I can even teach some girls do it if they want to.
