Left hand job !!!!

Kal101 · 06-25-2015, 07:40 AM

Had my 335xd for about three months or so now and have got used to not changing gears anymore which kind of leaves my left hand with nothing to do!!

How do you occupy yours ????

dopper99 · 06-25-2015, 07:48 AM

To politely show a hand sign to the w@nkers on the road that pi55 me off.

I hold the steering wheel

Surely depends on whether you have an attractive female passenger?

When driving my missus SLK, I change up down with the auto shifter and up with the wheel... no idea why I just tried it and have got used to it.

It alternates between my knob, steering wheel, using the paddle and arm rest.

Edit: I meant I controller knob thing, honest

As a superior 335dx driver I use mine to gesture to any lowly 328i/335i drivers as I pass them

It's great isn't it? My hand rests on the drive controller when chilling, or on the wheel when rallying.

My problem with the auto box is when I get into a manual- I've been driving manuals for years but now sometimes get caught out and stall at junctions or chug chug into a parking space in a high gear. Getting too lazy and comfy in this marvellous auto!

Would this be when stuck in a bit of light drizzle on our driveways due to this lack of grip you tractor boys bang on about?

That's enough from you Nicky Clarke

.....there is another advantage of having the left hand free, also means you can keep said sheep sitting in the passenger seat should one decide to get a takeaway

But I'm sure whatever you do with your left hand is legal.
