Coming from a M3E92 6MT I have similar findings during my test drives of a Z435is. The truth is that the NA engine needs revs which means during daily driving, to be fast, you need to rev it. On one hand this is fun, on the other hand, normal driving, without much noise and stress and still being fast, is not really possible with the M3.
Also DCT is really fun, I love the 6 MT in my M3, yes, but now I am over 40 and sometimes I just want to floor it and got away fast. In the M3, this project needs good preparation, in the 35is I floor it and that's it, I am away.
So I ordered a Z435is (Hyper orange, fully loaded), which will be delivered in July 2013 (BMW World).
I must say that I really liked your post, because I have a similar understanding of it.
Regarding the upshifts:
Is the behaviour of the gearbox really different in the 35i and in the 35is. Upshifts in the 35is and no upshifts in the 35i?!
