I drove a m2 on the track and was amazed at how well it handled. If I had the space I would get a comp pack m2. I think you would be happy with it as a daily.

This is exactly where I landed. GT3 for the weekend and Q7 for DD / family trips. Wife likes her cabrio, which is roomy enough to haul the kids in the city if needed ... so we pretty much cover all options as a family :-).

Impressive, Grant... this tune would may make me want DCT instead of the manual.

Often DCT gearboxes have a torque limit that would be exceeded with a tune, but Manual can handle. Vehicle dependent, of course...

Maybe no concern in this case, since it probably shares gearbox with M3/4 and I think those DCT can handle some tuning.

I wondered if that was the case. Good to know. S55 has been very tunable unlike its predecessor; N55.

That said, I think the Comp has a great balance of power / handling / braking and would not want to mess with it.
