I have a diffsonline 3.62 diff on my e92 M3. It was originally installed on my '09 and then installed on my '12 after I sold my '09. The diff worked flawlessly with the DCT on my '09; however, it's had some harsh shifting issues on the '12. I'm not sure why - both have GTS DCT software. Things start out shifting smoothly but then sometimes it starts to shift harshly. I'm wondering if it's heat related so I'm going to install an aftermarket DCT cooler (do88 or CSF). Except for the harsh shifting, I absolutely love the 3.62 diff!
How many miles do you have on that "lifetime" DCT fluid. May not be heat but lost fluid making levels low which definitely affects shifts in ANY trans DCT or typical torque converter trans.
