Fwiw - I don't consider myself the greatest thing out there when it comes to shifting, but I can shift pretty darn quick, and a few months back decided to answer this question myself by lining up with a buddy who also owns a '11 135i, but with DCT.
Mind you, based on what I had heard/read, I expected to be shredded by this super transmission but the results were surprising: from a dig I beat him (which I couldn't believe myself). Not sure if the launch control delay had anything to do with it, but I jumped a full carlength ahead and stayed there until I let go at about 110-120.
Now from a roll (40 and up), he beat me by about half a carlength. Again, of the two races the one I thought I'd definitely lose I won, and the one I thought I had a chance in I ended up losing.
Factors to take into account: my car is a stripper and his car is fully loaded (would the weight difference be enough to matter?), also apparently there is a delay for DCT to engage when using lc.
