3. i wish it shifts even faster... in some situations it does hesitate a little bit even i'm pulling the paddles myself

that's it... all these are solvable / will be improved with a DCT tune i heard. planing to do it once my warranty is over.

also it's nice to replace the shift paddles to the bigger / longer aftermarket ones, the OEM is a bit small. it's a nice and easy DIY.

enjoy your new ride!
You let valets drive you M3...

Yes the box moves slow on the paddle under low throttle, which seems fine to me, but is lighting fast soon as you start give it some!
