Rob, they are completely different and hard to explain. It blows through gears but feels great, we just don't have enough gears. Such a shame the US didn't get the 8 speed e70 diesel variants that Europe got for 2 years.

Been through 2 tanks now and can say it feels even better that adaption values are set. mpg may have been negatively affected a little but I have been doing too many mountain runs lately skewing normal usage

StockX - save stage 3 for the days you want to push it, I wouldn't want to put the transmission or myself through that on the daily . They claim 50% harder shifts, that would be no good for cruising. Stage 2 is the way to go, it should have come this way from the factory and since the torque limiter is increased like Rob mentioned, it should only benefit the TRF stage 2.
