Wheelspin Chirp When Shifting Gears?
I know with the M series BMWs, if you shift hard with heavy acceleration, you can get that chirp when shifting through the first 3-4 gears. Can this be done with the C63, or are the shifts not fast enough?

The wheelspin chirp only occurs when you change gears because when you push in the clutch along with some gas, the rpm builds up past the range you would be in when you change in to the next gear so the wheels tend to spin excessively due to the extra rpm. I am also hungover so I don't know if my grammar is amazing.

In the summer after about 50% throttle out of the hole I can hammer it from 1st to 2nd and have very little wheel spin. In the winter forget it. Smoke show.
Sometimes I chirp from 1st to 2nd. But it only happens after my TCU has adapted to aggressive driving. My C63 drives AMAZING after a day at the track. That ride home is always the best. By the next morning its back to city mode.
