No....for one thing I don't even use the paddle shifters except when shifting around on a mountain at slower speeds.
The transmission knows the loads and when to shift which is better than any mortal can do.
I still only have 26k miles on a 6 year X1, and I'm going to a slightly thicker oil, Mobil 1 0w40, instead of the BMW 5w30.
Also, I just drive maybe 3 - 20 minute runs until I get tire pressures sorted.
I also, don't drive if temp is gonna be over 90. I can't take heat nor can tires.
Some people drive hell outta car while I use track to drive like I can't do on street.
One guy said I wasn't driving hard enough cause I wasn't going through brake pads.
My retort is: "I wanna drive car at it's limit, not be free bed test of parts."
Since it's not a race, and we can't use late braking to pass, car shouldn't be beat up.
