Your complaints are completely, 100% justified.

Do you think tweaking the software alone could improve the transmission substantially? I have the Eurocharged V5 tune for my W204 and I would say that it has sharpened up the responsiveness of the downshifts a bit.

On my most recent M4 test drive, the newest version of the M-DCT left me virtually speechless. I had some trouble with surging and bucking at low speeds in the E92 w/ DCT. This trait was basically non-existent on the F82.
