It's been exactly 2 months and I have yet to grind on the M. This is likely due to the fact that the Z4 used the same transmission, so it probably helped me adapt to its idiosyncrasies. Getting into 2nd feels very notchy sometimes, but I don't force it into gear and rather apply pressure and almost let it fall into gear. Takes a split second longer maybe, but in the end it ends up being faster.

I have noticed that on some bumpier roads the car has a tendency to jackrabbit more or shift poorly. My hunch is the transmission mounts flexing, but without swapping them out I can't say for sure. Still on the fence about attempting a swap given my utter lack of DIY experience, but don't really want the inconvenience and cost of taking it somewhere to have it done either...
