Here's a brief comparison of GTS DCT tune vs stock DCT tune on an otherwise stock e92 and why I am much happier with the stock DCT tune:
Performance: Launching the car with the GTS tune was terrible. Couldn't manage better than a 4.5 seconds to 60mph. It changes something when the clutches are dropped using the "floorboard method". With the stock DCT tune floorboard method, can do 4.0 all the time. Translates to a low 12 second 1/4 mile ET for the stock DCT tune vs high 12 second 1/4 mile with the GTS tune if you care about that sort of thing.
Daily driving: the GTS tune makes the throttle very sensitive at low speeds and the car "bucks" forward and back creeping slowly in first gear with the throttle applied. More annoying is when you are coasting to a stop and the GTS tune will downshift to second gear and make the car abruptly slow at around 15-20mph. Stock DCT tune does not do this.

Interesting assessment, can you clarify which stock DCT Tune you are using at present?
