Another issue I have occasionally is I will want to downshift and it will either want 1 gear down or 2, and there is a 1 second delay or so before the tranny reacts. Are you or anyone experiencing this?
No. I haven't experienced this personally but it sounds to a certain degree like typical DCT behavior in general. My query was about gear changes between 2nd and 3rd. They were sometimes abrupt and not as smooth as I would expect from DCT.

I have an early M5 so updates for my car might not apply to yours. I haven't brought it in for anything since taking delivery. I asked about getting an oil change but the price was kind of ridiculous so I did it privately for far less.
