I know exactly what you're talking about. Those other guys are talking about the kickdown switch and that's not it. My manual has this staged feel to it, my dad's manual has the stages, my old 318is manual has the stages. My dad claims not to notice it. I really like it, its set to a good cruising throttle setting so you can almost rest your foot on stage two of the pedal.

For you guys who dont notice it, its just increased resistance in the pedal. It is nowhere near flooring the pedal. Manuals do not have the kickdown switch obviously.
