Just wondering here, have you tried to set the DCT into a higher or more bars shifting mode? That could just be your case and that the DCT is in all out comfort mode so it shift much slower, slowing down the clutch engagement of the transmission as well. That could be why you're not moving as fast or you have that lag? Does the 1 series have DCT that can be controlled like the M models? Never been in a 1 series. Does all DCT have that mode no matter what series it goes into?

That could be your simplest solution and you just have to set the mode higher to have your fix. It is because I did not see once that you spoke about changing the modes nor anyone else.

About the ZF-8, my wife has the 435i GC with that transmission. It is smooth and quick so I like that transmission. I think it is just because I know that the DCT is unique to the M or a higher model car, I would love to keep it still. I am 50/50 and if it goes to the ZF-8, I would welcome it. The new M5 is stated to have the ZF-8 in replacement of the DCT, so why not?
