I originally had a 2008, pre-DCT software update.
There were a few occasions on the track when the car was really being pushed and the transmission didnt want to downshift immediately (ie. turn 1 @ PMI, 130+mph).
After the software update, the car was night and day different. Zero issues whatsover.
I now have an 09, and it has the newest DCT software. From daily driving, I have had zero complaints. I have no reports from the track as the car only has 800 miles on it.
I recommend joining the RM CCA chapter. There are several worthwhile events (driving schools, bimmer+burger nights, etc).

Signes - I was reading the BMWCCA website and thinking of joining. Is the Rocky Mountain chapter worth it, fun, etc.?
Look forward to a group ride. Will be fun.
