Jerking at low Rpms

Sup guys... I have an M6 and have had previously owned auto 4th gens. When the car is rolling very slow in traffic it starts jerking and I either have to push in the clutch or gas it. Is that normal for the M6's or has it something to do with the Spec 3.

I haven't driven a M5/M6 that doesn't do that. Unless you run really low gears sometimes this happens it's the car catching up with the engine.

Yeah, you're just not used to the way an m6 feels yet.

yeah i drive in traffic all the time with my m6 and this is normal you just have to get used to it. You have to get a feel for where is going to jerk in certain gears and then learn how much clutch/gas to give it ect. Once you get used to it you will be fine.
