MINI2 - MINI Forum - View Single Post - CVT -- De-"americanizing" the virtual shift?

I am talking about CVT in either D or SD mode; not in steptronic mode. My knowledge of the CVT in europe is the car, once its going will rev up to 4000RPM and stay there; keeping the same RPM as you accelerate/de-accelerate.

In the US (Well, Boston at least which is all that really counts anyhow), in D or SD mode, the RPM will vary and see a rpm drop at points of the acceleration.

I would like to get it to the first mode, mentioned.
