AnywayI'm sure Getrag started working full time on changing the software once they heard you guys were firing off all those letters to BMW...proper quaking in their boots I bet. They will have it all sorted in a jiffy just like they sorted the SMG software for the E46 M3!

Now, you're scaring me. If BMW doesn't do something pretty soon, I'm going to buy another car and bring my POS DCT back to the dealer service department. They can have it with the instructions to call me when it's safe to drive.
For the rest of you who think this can be cured with changes to driving style:
1) Note that I've tried it in manual mode as well, still hesitates
2) You should actually buy a DCT equiped M3 and stop guessing.
3) Drive a few more miles than 200 a month, because I put a 3000/mo on mine
4) I can keep it from happening by applying a small amount of throttle through the turn. This doesn't help the actually important case where I am rolling in an intersection and need the car to accelerate when I apply the throttle, not a second later.
Here's some info:
55 mph = 80 feet per second
A car traveling 55mph travels 5 car lengths in the time a DCT equiped M3 spends thinking about engaging the clutch.
