I would not do it if this is your daily or only car...
I have the Dinan 3.62 in my '12 E92 that I purchased earlier this year, so DCT was already fully sorted. Just wanted to add another perspective since this is my daily (+ one "emergency" track weekend due to busted E36). Whilst highway cruising at 70-80mph can be a bit loud (MPE - what's not to like?), the around-town driving is delightful to have the added torque. Plus on the track, avoiding 2nd gear turns (as the 3.15 guys do) keeps the car in the power band longer without needing the 2-3 shift since I'm already in 3rd.
Verdict - just do it already!
