I to did this after I first got my M Coupe. Because of driving an E30 M3 with a light weight flywheel, the shifting was far different on the M Coupe. After a few weeks I finally realized that shifting from 1st to 2nd at rpm lower than 4500 was the biggest problem. If you watch the tach you will see the engine RPMs drop 2000 VERY quickly when you push the clutch in. I rev up to 5000 in first then shift to second. All other gears to at least 4500, the transmission just seems to like that better.
