Track conditions and driver. It's a "Press" car. Look at the Audi's times.

Also there was a recent software update to the DCT system, that might make a difference, but all new M3's would have the update now.

I'll tell you next week when I pick mine up at the Welt

I'm telling you something funny is going on here Chris. M/T did have the ZCP. The article is still on their main page..

It's also fitted with BMW's new Competition Package, a $2500 bundle of goodies that includes wider offset 19-inch alloy wheels, the ride height lowered by 0.4 inch, and reprogrammed Electronic Damper Control and Dynamic Stability Control settings designed to sharpen the car's dynamic responses beyond the already scalpel-like ability of the regular M3.

Also, their car did 60mph in 4.1 sec and quartermi in 12.6sec.@ 113mph You'd think that was normal but you'd be wrong. Why? Look at the 0-100mph. 9.1sec?!?!! CarandD tested a DCT against a 911 and got 4.1to 60 and 9.9sec to 100mph. MotorTrend's ZCP is indeed faster than a normal M3. I know we have to account for track conditions but DAMN! Whether its the DCT update or the ZCP, I wont know for sure. I doubt you'll be able to tell the diff between 3.9 and 4.1 with your car. Sadly, I can't see any rag testing another M3 without it.
