So I am not exactly new, but still feel like a noob... I recently purchased a 2000 323ci for a great deal of $1,500. It drives great, sounds great (engine, and sound system (:). If I could change one thing, id wish it be a 6 speed, id even be ecstatic with a 5sp.
My question is.. When I floor it, it goes great, but if im on the gas hard when it changes gear it will rev up until I let off the gas, idk if it will eventually go into gear, I always let off the gas when it does it cause I fear damaging it (that's just how I am with automatics, but the deal for this car made it worth it) anyways... a friend of mine says its the car protecting itself from hurting the trans? is this true, I mean I understand that its hard on a car changing gears at a high rpm rate, but it just seemed like something is wrong with it. maybe I just need to get a better feel for the car like with a clutch. idk, any help is much a appreciated.
p.s. I tried to search this problem w/0 much luck, It was hard to explain what the problem is in a search.
Thanks!
