WOt Question

[E34 530]

OMFG!!!!! I just discovered the WOT kickswitch on my 530i. I had alwyas known it was there, but never really utilized it before. It delivers such a nice shot of power. Is it bad to use thing every once in a while, like maybe at a stop light about to race someone or something? Thanks for the input.

Think of it as a reduce-carbon-buildup-injector-cleaning switch I believe the only way it could ruin your day is your MPG!

So your saying its alright to use it every once in a while right, lol. I can't believe the power it delivers.

it's there to be used, all it really does is tell the tranny to down shift and while you are on the switch to extend the shift longer, so i guess you don't know about sport mode? pull the shifter back one position past drive and that's sport, higher shift points sometimes right at the redline depending on the gear you are in and no overdrive

With the price of gas, I find myself using it less and less.

Sick!!!!! I can't wait to get next to some of my friend's now because they think the car is soooooo slow, which it kinda is but I still love her. Top end speed isn't bad and I can easily take them at like 130+. By the way, I know about the sport mode, but I am a bit weary to use it because it puts a tremendous amount of unnecessary pressure and stress on the tranny.

Just chg the tranny oil more regularly than u should and get a a new filter for it every 2-3rd change. That should look after it so long as u use it rather than abuse it. Nick

After the pedal hits something at the end of its travel, push a little more and the transmission will "up to a certain speed range, the next lower ratio is selected to provide improved acceleration. The next upward shift does not take place until a much higher engine speed has been reached." Also: "The accelerator pedal can be depressed beyond the full-throttle position by overcoming a detent". Wonderous things can be discovered from the owners manual .
