Certainly doesn't have the all-out acceleration that the SC brings, but I like the road behavior quite a bit without it.

Happy to help you with any suspension questions—I've just recently dialed in the rear of my E90 and really satisfied with the upgrades.
I drove a friends DCT car a few years ago that was basically all stock and I also thought at the time that it got up and moved plenty quick enough. 4.10 gears would probably help make the 6MT a little closer to DCT gearing. You can only go so fast on public roads anyways which is where my car spends all of it's time now.

Thanks! Will do.

I'll be using this thread as my place to document and share everything I do with the car. I've got quite a few things on my to-do list to ultimately have the car buttoned up before spring when we really get good driving weather back.
