Tips for driving turbo with stick shift

[patten]

Hey guys, just bought a beautiful 2007 E92 with stick shift. I have driven nothing but automatics for the last 11 years, but I trained on stick. It feels great to pump that clutch again.

This is the first turbocharged car I've owned. Are there any special tips for driving a turbo?

No. Drive it like any other car.

No. Drive it like any other car.

+1 experiment a bit and you'll find it isnt that much of a change

Well OK then!

What they said. You'll find that the grunt of the 300ft-lbs of torque (keep revs at least at 1500, preferably 2000 or above) means you can get by with less shifting. Just be aware that things get really wild above 5000 rpm as the HP peaks - zowie!
