Not to get off topic but the exhaust sound was awesome in that car. Better then our lawnmowers.
I actually like the sound of our F8x series M. Not saying that it can't be better.

Then I would agree that the M platform definitely has more control over the shifting and clutch engagement. Now I see why the 1 series have that issue.

Glad...I got the M and I am sorry for you 1 series peeps that had that issue. I hope they fixed that in the 2 series, if they come with the DCT.
