I believe it's tweaks to the DCT software that enabled it to go 0.4s faster which by the way is VERY significant. It was C&D's report that sealed the decision on my 2011 m3.

At onelapofamerica.com this year I walked a modified Camaro at the gainsville drag strip.

So much for the substantiality posturing

Ok, I'm just tweaking everyone. Hell, I could not tell you the .4 second difference when driving if my life depended on it!

I can tell you my 011 M3 with ZCP feels substantially faster than my X5 Diesel
