Mixja, you're correct in noting that most e90/2/3 drivers do the vast majority of their driving on the street. Any mod that improves street performance is, therefore, more likely to be a better mod.
Furthermore, I've seen no reasonable direct comparison that shows the 3.62 is slower at the dragstrip. I've heard an INCREDIBLE amount of heresay about a single individual who allegedly ran slower at a different track, under different conditions on his first time out with the 3.46 as compared to the 3.15. There is a tendancy on internet forum for information to become fact after two or there repetitions irrespective of any actual validity.
It's is exceedingly unlikely that a M3 DCT with 3.62 FD is slower than an M3 with 3.15 at the dragstrip. In a couple of years when there is significantly more data from a number of different cars at different tracks it will become apparent that the 3.62 is not slower at the dragstrip.
Note that the 3.62 may be slower on a road course....maybe
