Proper chassis and transmission mounted linkages are faster than what BMW typically uses for example. My best experience with this is Honda, BMW 6MT are quite slow without really working at rowing.

Better tuned hydraulics make clutch actuation faster.

Perhaps quicker, more precise and closer is better wording.

Dealer didn't have a manual when I was there, does the F80 MT prep cogs and match gear speeds between shifts? If truly so I concede and tip my hat to that at least.
