Do you take your foot off the gas when shifting in manual mode, or is it like a motorcycle quickshifter where it actually works better when you are hard on the gas?

Pedal to metal when shifting in M mode for me but make sure you shift 200-200 RPM before red light. There is some delay in the M mode or you will hit the fuel cut.

i do this when cruising in M, usually keep my foot on the gas when im going at it. Dont mean to jack your thread, but a few people have told me its bas to let go off the gas and shift when youre in M mode? Anyone know more about this?

Absolutely pedal to the metal. You shifting M is no different than the car shifting. If you had a sequential gearbox i would recommend lifting it just a little as it is a manual gearbox (basically), but no, not on our cars

The 200 or so RPM rule is definitely a must. I came from an M3 with DCT and as much as I love the C63, the DCT on the M3 is definitely better than the MB MCT. No lag at all on the M3 and smoother shifts, especially on downshifts where the M3 DCT has great throttle blips.

pedal to the metal. Note if you SC you have to shift even earlier in manual as it revs so quick.

Did the people who tell you this drive the E46 M3 with SMG? If so thats how you made SMG shift smoother was a slight lift on the gas but that was for around town driving, but WOT redline shifts you kept your foot the floor as the shifts were not lagy at redline.

But for this car with 5 clutches in the pack its not necessary the car runs very smoothly.
