I keep stalling the Bimmer! I don’t know what to do. I guess I’m just not used to it yet, seeing that I’ve only had it on the road 2 days. The Audi had a really high clutch, and was so easy to drive. The Bimmer clutch is all new and shit and really sensitive. So, if you see me, and I’m sitting at a green light, trying to move, you can honk and make fun of me all you want. I suck. ☹ This is so frustrating! Seriously though, is there a trick or something? I mean, for the most part I can drive without burning up the clutch, but sometimes I get retarded. ---

Just practice, you’ll have it down in 2 weeks. You need to feel the engagement point on the clutch pedal, and just be smoother with feeding in the throttle as you let the clutch out. reGive it a little more throttle than you are now (JUST A TAD). ---

try this, slowly let the clutch out and let the car get rolling allitle before even hittin the gas, its slow, but you’ll save your clutch and you wont stall or jump the car trying to do it to fast. ---

Rev to redline. Drop clutch. With left foot stab brakes while keeping throttle pinned. Apply more/less brakes as needed. Perfect launch. ---

At least you didn’t stall trying to launch at an autox 😊 It wasn’t my car… but I hadn’t stalled it at any other point except for that. I was so embaressed. ---

Find a lot, practice getting the car going using the clutch only no throttle. Should give you a good feel of the clutch once you do it successfully a few times. Audi clutches are quite weird with the high engagement points, after driving Minglor’s A4 I found I could no longer drive my Subaru properly for a few hours after getting back into it. ---

Wait, you have a bimmer? +1 for find a place to just feel the clutch a bunch of times. When in doubt just keep the revs up and pay attention only to eeeaaasing the clutch through the ENTIRE travel of the pedal. ---

Just watch your RPM’s…don’t let it go under 1k…everytime you take off…just watch your limiter for a while until you get the feeling down of the different clutch…you will be fine. Hills must be fun for you right now LOL ---

as you let the clutch out there will be a point where it will get very sensitive and really start to grab. Slow down or stop letting it out **before** that point and add more throttle rate then before… continue letting clutch out very slowly while adding gas pretty quickly [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/um-i-cant-drive-make-fun-of-dawn-content-inside/31670.md?page=2)
