C63 owners ,Can you downshift multiple gears at a time in S mode?, say 5->3
C63 owners ,Can you downshift multiple gears at a time in S mode by clicking left paddle couple of times ?
I know in M mode, it allows only one gear downshift at a time
I was wondering if in S mode, say u want to shift from 5 to 3 going at 50 MPH and U click the left padddle twice, does it directly go from 5 to 3 with one throttle blip OR does it step from 5 to 4 by blipping once and then 4 to 3 with another throttle blip ?
The ZF Auto gear box in the BmW 335 does the shift from 5->3 in one step with one blip, and was wondering how theC63 does it
In the 2007 Slk55 Amg, clicking the left paddle twice like above, the gear display goes from 5 to 3 instantly but the actual gear goes from 5 to 4 and then 4 to 3 , kinda annoying and no throttle blips
Thanks

Hi There unsure if this the answer you are looking for
If I'm driving at say 60mph , and need to slow down first make sure that your window or sunroof is open
I then pull the minus paddle until it either drops to every gear or you can hold it in until it drops to it maxinum low gear , sometime gear 2 or 3! I often use this method for braking as I love the burble/ backfire etc from the exhaust awesome note
Unsure if you can drive the US version the same , as there are small differences between them.

I know with the auto in my SLK I can be driving along in 5th (50km/h) and instead of tapping the button to shift down I just hold the button down and it will shift straight to 2nd (lowest gear possible). I'd assume that the C63 box does the same thing.
