Huh. Never actually tested the auto for top-gear responsiveness, now that I think about it. I defer to your experience.
The six speed M3 won't blow you away in top gear - but it'll certainly blow a Grand Sport Vette away - or even a Z06. They don't get moving in sixth until somewhere near 100.
Edit: Didn't test the auto for top-gear acceleration because it'll kick down right smartly, if memory serves.
