"At over 2 tons this is by far the heaviest M3 ever, even outweighing its sibling coupe and sedan by several hundred pounds.
The extra strain is seen in the performance numbers, while acceleration and shifting action left me unimpressed. Using the most aggressive throttle (Sport Plus) and transmission settings had the car lurching when I drove out of corners and banging through gears like an old Torqueflite in need of a rebuild. Dialing things back to the midlevel throttle (Sport) position and halfway up the transmission settings (three bars out of six) solved most of these issues, but delays between paddle pull and shift action were still too long."

Sometimes changing have a little delay, but not everytime. Anyway, this delay is not so much noticable.
The most bigger problem for me what I have noticied is what sometimes you pull the paddle for kick-down and nothing... pull second time and then its kicks-down... This had happened with me 2-3 times only at over 11.000kms.
