> Watch the inadvertent 4-3 shift, when going for 5th. I’ve heard it’s not an uncommon problem when the linkage gets worn. Unlike a turd DSM or Honda tranny, the BMW tranny will allow you go slot into 3rd quite easily despite the very high RPMs, and when you dump the clutch and hit the gas…well, it’s not good.

The 2-3-2 or 3-4-3 shift is know as the “money shift” in the E36 world, and that’s not meant in a good way. 9 times out of 10 a worn-out/broken tranny mount is the culprit (one of the things listed in the link I gave above).
