Will I see improvement after the 1200 mile service? Any other previous 335 drivers care to share their thoughts?

Thanks!
Are you saying that you didn't test drive an M3 before plunking your money down?

As others have said, the engines have different power delivery characteristics. In addition, the M-DCT trans doesn't have the torque multiplication off the line that an auto trans torque converter has.
