Rev surge after gear shift

Hi :) i drive a 325ci manual, and recently I have noticed an annoying surge in revs when i shift in to 3rd, 4th and 5th gears. It’s present in 3rd gear, but is worse in 4th, and even worse in 5th. It only happens a couple times before it starts responding normally again

this issue also isnt brand new. it was happening but really minor, and quite rare, so i just chalked it up to being a little too excited to hit the gas, but now i know its something wrong mechanically

My clutch is only 3 years old and i treat it well so i don’t anticipate it being a failed clutch.

I also don’t have any lean codes so i don’t think it’d be a vacuum leak unless it too minor for the engine to detect.

I have also seen it could be clutch delay valve, air trapped in the clutch hydraulic lines or a weak slave cylinder return spring?

Has anyone experienced this and how can i fix it?

Thanks :)

Ps, plleaasseee dont tell me i have to start removing my transmission 🥲

Meet at The Motorist, Leeds

Meet at The Motorist in Leeds, UK

Had the car for three-ish years and this is its first car meet. I showed up not knowing what event was on and just wanted to see the place (ive wanted to come here for a while so spontaneously went), so check out some Subarus whilst youre at it

(I didn’t gate crash the Subaru meet with a BMW, the event finished and it became any car)

They’ll end up killing someone eventually 🫪

In a van as well is crazy 😐 the self-reporting is insane. Extra points if anyone can make out the reg plate of the van in front

Grinding when braking. Is this ride height too low? Desperare for help :,(

I have a bad grinding sound on my front coilovers when i brake and let off of the power. I have adjusted my sway bars and its still bad. I have put spacers on my wheels to push them away from the coilovers as they were grinding my rim, and guess what? Its still bad -_-

From these pictures; am i running my ride height far too low? Is the ride height the cause of my issues? Its Wednesday evening today and I have an MOT on Friday so i need this issue fixed after work tomorrow evening.

Im desperate for some help, any thoughts would be appreciated.

I have attached photos of the whole setup inside the wheel well in case anyone notices another issue

Cannot interact with dashed hidden lines on a drawing

Hi all, new here as I'm migrating over from Inventor due to a job change, so forgive me if the answer may be obvious. Also sorry if this is the wrong flair

Can someone tell me why I cant make a dimension in relation to the two lines highlighted in the photo attached? I can select the line type highlighted in green, but I can't select the pink highlighted lines at all. I cant dimension them, I can't add a centerline to them, I can't even select them at all.

I assume its an issue with my Solidworks settings in some way.

Any help would be a appreciated 😄

Double smash stack

Double smash burgers with lettuce, red onion, tomatoes and bacon.
Top tip; use the cheapest, most plasticised cheese you can find, it doesn’t feel like a real burger if you use anything else. (Non-dairy based cheese for my partner)
Also, use two eggs yolks to act as an adhesive when forming your patties, it helps keep them in one piece when you smash them
