Lots of confusion about what the kick down switch on many generations of BMWs is for.

I took a look at my footage frame by frame and my rough math works out to a 1.5 times increase to acceleration. I think it peaked around 5 km/second.

In my opinion this feature makes "manual" mode not suck. The one main thing you can't do in "manual" mode on an automatic compared to a true manual, is skip gears on down shift. You cannot go from 6th to say 4th in "manual" mode on an auto. Which kind of makes "manual" mode useless IMO other than the occasional downshift when you're too lazy to mash the pedal.
