The DCT programming in the M5 and M6 was much better than the M3/M4 too, it never suffered from those lazy upshifts at part throttle like the M3/M4. I never drove a CS version though, maybe that was fixed.

I can't agree having had F10 M5 MDCT, F80 M3 MDCT and now the M ZF8 in the X3M the shift/paddle reaction times as observed by the driver are no different.
Your description about pulling the paddle at 5.5k to make sure the gearbox changes at 7k+ is absurd it's no different to the MDCT pull the paddle and it changes.
