Apart from the obvious what is the difference between shifting in Tiptronic and D mode? 

I am pretty new to the system myself (only 1 day so far), only difference I can see is in M mode you can sometimes be asking it for a gear that it has not got ready yet resulting in a slight delay to the change.  Maybe it is just that you are feeling or are you saying this is a recent thing?

Billy,  get the DSG oil change!!!

It needs to be done every 40k miles.  i just had it done recently and i thought it made a big difference.  The gearbox felt smoother and quicker.
