that...is a rockstar arguement. :D

i love manuals. the 135 we just bought came with dct and it is fast as fuck. i test drove an smg m6 and i thought the car sucked. i felt like in comparison, i could jerk off a couple times, pick my nose, and go eat a 3 course meal while i was waiting for the thing to go on to the next gear.

The SMG isn't fun in traffic, but on a track or an open road, it's waaay better. I like my manuals, but if I were given the option to have a manual or a DCT on a modern car, it all depends on how it feels. Some cars have shitty DCTs and some cars have shitty manual gearboxes.

it's really not that much faster. most of the time it's like 1/10th of a second, if that. I mean, really, so what? It's faster on paper - big deal. You know what's also faster than driving a manual BMW to work if you live in a big city? Public transit. Clearly, there are other reasons to drive a car like the M5...

i agree 100%, but having a sequential with paddle shifters keeps the hands on the wheels at all time, which is safer and takes less energy from the driver.

Agree wit this, the SMG was not fun in traffic at all when I tested it back in teh day. I would steer away from any M3 DCT. M5 I havent driven with the DCT but I hear its not much different

The DCT is another animal, that thing is amazing and while my M3 is a manual I would take a DCT car.

Hell even the new 8speed Auto's in BMWs are pretty damn amazing these days.
