Yes, the adaptive suspension is a must - was missing in my M2 (only the CS has it) and I got rid of it after one year cause I couldn't take it anymore.

The 19s on the M3 with adaptive are really magic.

Oh, I would never want to race a 340 at the track. As noted, the ZF is amazing and that helps make the 340 really FAST.

You do keep saying lurching and jerking - my M3 exhibits none of that, so I'm really curious where that is coming from (like I said, I was under the impression you had the DCT).

I can't stand that dash - my dealer (very close friend of mine) keeps telling me it is the best thing since sliced bread.
