now i've had my M Coupe for about two weeks and 1900 Km and got the grinding 2nd four times. WTH?
anyone?

Its because the clutch takeup is so close to the floor - you need to be very percise in the M cars on the timing of the hand and foot work between 1 & 2. Its just not intuitive imo. The long clutch travel and short throw shifter seems to throw timing off too... You're not alone.
