Got to test drive the new M5 at an M Experience Day in Thermal. That thing is a rocket, and it's got the ZF TC transmission, so...
My F80 bucks in traffic, and I can't say I enjoy it very much. I have it in comfort mode with everything tuned down, and it still struggles at times.
Before the M3, I had the Lexus ISF, which also had a torque converter transmission (not a ZF), and the shifts were pretty quick.
Bottom line is, you'll probably lose more drag races due to not being able to get the power down than the car not shifting fast enough.
