Awesome review, and video. I found what you said about gear changes,

really interesting. I wonder if this is something unique to manual cars? When I test drove a DCT M2 at a track event, there was less lag than the already relatively lag free M235i and the throttle response was so good that it made the car so easy to adjust with the throttle, even for a driver of moderate ability like me. Granted I only shifted twice under 6000 rpm before discovering that the engine loves to rev to redline and when you shift at 7000 rpm you get a kick in the butt and trigger the traction control light.
