Thanks Highland Pete. I have seen these but I'm not sure I would call them 'specific', at least not in performance terms.

Which is to say, 'precisely how much faster' is it than the standard gearbox? Equally, does a sport box equipped F30 accelerate faster than it's standard counterpart? The published 0-60 and 50-75 mph times make no such distinction.

Not that it matters much, it's just that, other than some BMW marketing BS I have yet to see any hard facts to substantiate the sport box being faster or by how much and I figure BMW should make it clearer.

That said, I'm sure I read a review which commented on the downshifts being quicker in manual mode (it may even have been Jason who said this).
