Car is 450rwkw. Heard the best way to drive the zf even when cruising it daily is in tiptronic as it places less stress when tuned? Is this true? Previously had a manual f6 so not to cluey with the autos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using tiptronic avoids this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to learn which gear you need to be in.Wish we could tune them to be completely manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
