Which gear do you like??

asdflkijd · 01-23-2008, 03:34 PM

Which gear do you like the most? I have the biggest grin when I'm in 3rd gear.

IMO its perfect, not too short not too long.

What about you?

TurboFan · 01-23-2008, 03:37 PM

I spend most of my time on the interstate, so 3rd is great for messing around. I think I've used 5th all of once in this car.

Rimola · 01-23-2008, 03:50 PM

7th

Year's_End · 01-23-2008, 09:34 PM

1st is too short, so I picked second.

shipill · 01-23-2008, 11:49 PM

I love 2nd

+1
I know the ratios are different but drop it to 3rd on the highway going 60-80 and hold on.

!Xoible · 01-24-2008, 12:50 AM

in auto i like 2nd. i also like 5th a lot coz it pulls hard even when im cruising.

on manual i have to try it

but i'd think 2nd or 3rd would be my favorite

spacedogg · 01-24-2008, 01:15 AM

2nd gear is the best in my lowly 325i.

BMWPower06 · 01-24-2008, 01:47 AM

BMW is known for being best in 3rd gear

UncleWede · 01-24-2008, 10:59 AM

3rd seems to be the most fun, be it the 3/step, my truck, or my cycle.

Couch · 01-24-2008, 11:52 AM

3rd is a good gear overall, but I voted 2nd. I like to be in 2nd at around 3-3.1K and give it gas.

What happened to the little shifter smiley?

Edit: Nevermind, overlooked it.

ArmyBimmerDude · 01-24-2008, 07:59 PM

3rd without a doubt for me.

FotiosF90M5 · 01-24-2008, 08:01 PM

2nd and 5th are my favorite gears.

TheAcAvenger · 01-24-2008, 08:05 PM

Coming from a car that was all 2nd gear, I love the fact that this one pulls so hard in 3rd. 60-100 is always sweeter than 20-60. Well, unless it means you die or get arrested.

That was negative one.

BK · 01-24-2008, 11:10 PM

I voted 3rd. It looks like 5th is getting no love at all. Come on! "Fifth Gear" -- it even has its own show!
