I'm still confused as to whether or not it's just the 2012 drive by wire nonsense that's causing me this headache, or if it's something else that's meant to help but simply makes things a pain in the ass. 2012 sport manual trans, and i'm ashamed of the number of times i've stalled this thing. is there some kind of throttle assist that bumps the throttle when you're releasing the clutch from a stop? i'll treat the throttle like i do in my other two manual vehicles and get some rpm, let go the clutch and move along nicely. i'll try the same thing with the 5 and the throttle goes from dead silent to just a shade over 2k rpm but then bumps up again a split second after releasing the clutch to get moving.
