Are there any tips or ways that proper shifting should be done? Or things that everyone should know that I might not?
I drive a 335i just incase anyone was wonderinf

It's going to happen unless you powershift it which is where you leave your throttle foot to the floor and bump the clutch as you shift. It is very hard on the transmission especially if you fuck it up. As such i wouldn't recommend it for a bmw driver. I wouldn't want to pay for a clutch and trans rebuild in that.

Nitrous tends to help turbos spool a bit

335i turbos spool stupidly fast, you shouldn't have to worry about it overly much.

Is it the stock turbo? How many miles on the car?









Just trying to guess how long until you melt a piston.
