Oh I agree with you 100% on that.
But it was a combination of spirited driving and then heading straight into the worst traffic I have ever been in. Oh well, BMW's what can we say, they very pedantic but awesome.

I came from south going into söderledtunneln and exit at gullmarsplan.

It also had a sticky smell sort of. So im sure something happened and that it was not just a system warning. Will def report it to my salesman.

Cars are cars. Bad traffic is bad traffic. You still have control over your car.

"Driving like a bit of a lunatic" as you state in your first post is your choice, not the fault of others.

There is never any reason to ride the clutch.

Push the pedal back to the floor immediately once the car is moving the speed you need. Otherwise, release it entirely. Never ride the clutch with the pedal partially depressed.

Okay well you come to S.A Mr know it all and lets see how you drive in a manual.
I didn't post this to be ridiculed, it's for information purposes only, if you have a problem with that you have no place on my thread.
And no one was blaming anyone for spirited driving maybe if you properly before commenting then your comment would have a ground to stand on but not in this case.
Further more you condescension behind your comment of "You still have control over your car". I'm not 3 years old, I know how to drive just like everyone else on this forum. So please take your condescension else where as it's not appreciated here.
