Although we have different transmissions I am willing to bet it will fix your problems too.
By making this minor change to my driving style, when I want to I can now shift at the redline with confidence.

Try it and see.

I get the 1-2 grind every now and then. It's not too bad, and I really think that I'm getting over-anxious when pushing my M3 to redline when shifting to that 2nd gear. Plus the shifting from 1st to 2nd can be a bit 'delayed'. I feel the best solution is for the driver to adapt, and make up for the weakness in the shifting characteristic of the M3, and many other vehicles out there.
I'll take MVF4Rrider's advice on applying more pressure to the left when shifting from 1st to 2nd.
Thanks for the heads up!
