Anyone else noticing that there DCT is laggy and slow to respond. My comparison is to a 135is which also had an n55 and basically the same trans other than the software. That trans was absolutely telepathic in D anticipating what gear I wanted. Also lightning fast and firm on the shifts. The M2 in comparison is not any of this. Since it's the same trans underneath it can be fixed with software if BMW sees fit to do so. I had an option of taking my HEA M2 as is with the DCT or waiting. Since I thought the DCT in my 1 was good I figured it would be the same so took the HEA. It's not. If they don't fix it I'll be in the camp of wanting the manual.

I use the paddle shifters behind the wheel constantly the last few days and it goes into Sport mode immediately when I enter the car. Does Sport or comfort make any difference for you? MR |

I drive in comfort 60% of the time with no issues at all. It is almost as smooth as the 8-speed AT when cruising and works great for dynamic driving too.
The only issue all double clutch gearboxes have is low speed (< 15 mph) driving as they can't predict the next gear very good. |

not laggy at all here
if you are driving slowly, it will shift softer, the harder you drive, the harder it shifts

Anyone coming off a 1er DCT with ppk here? Just wondering if my DCT is the same as yours but you all don't have the same reference point for comparison.

My car suffered terribly from throttle lag though when accelerating from low speed, was soo annoying, am praying the M2 is not the same, DCT shift speeds on the other hand were perfect. |

Don't use comfort. It's called comfort for a reason. The DCT is not the same as the old cars nor is the programming.

If DCT is the same as sport auto - disconnect battery for min. 30mins - reconnect and then drive it to see if DCT shift is any better
