glad to hear you got it all sorted out.
now you guys should not be surprised if I tell you the most important parts of an engine are actually the bolts and nuts.

glad to see you got the doors done, when are you getting the wheels?
finally solved the knocking sound under the front axle at BMW
they traced it to the mounts for the bilstein shocks,
turns out GT did not use a torque wrench, but only those hydraulic drill tighteners
to affix the shocks, so they were loose.
now everything is sweet.

the only way to ensure all the bolts and nuts are torqued correctly is to DIY. even bmwhk will have 1 or 2 mechanics in bad mood on a bad day after battle with horses or wife.

can upgrade to this too w anti-chokchok gearbox:
My friends TT has DSG gearbox and the gear change is silky smooth and work seamlessly.
But it still "Chok" at the hill start, so DSG is very good but not perfect
Not sure will this also happened to Mike's M3 with DCT
