Especially from 3rd to 2nd.

rev match? and yes...in mostly all gears (except 2nd to 1st, i think). to disable it, you have to take off full traction control.

That's correct MarcoPolo - I know because my MINI Genius explained it to me when I picked my new car up on this past Sunday. The rev match works for all gears (up and down shift) except second to first. It's not as aggressive as I've seen in some other cars (Porsche) but it does match the rev's and will have you forgetting what you've learned if you're used to doing it yourself. I know not everyone here likes it, but in my opinion it's pretty fun once you get used to it. And if you're tracking cars with the rev matching it's easy to like as there's plenty to concentrate on at speed and this makes it one less thing to focus on beyond the apex, other cars and the next turn.

I like he rev matching and I've been driving HP/Sports cars for 50+ years. My only problem occurs when I don't fully depress the clutch when downshifting, but that's my fault. The BMS Clutch Stop helps with that.

My 2013 doesn't have rev match, so i do it myself, which is more fun.
