Hey Brian,
Thanks for the feedback man. I went to the dealer and tested the DCT on a red E92 M3....it is QUICK and once you turn off the traction control, set it to Sport Plus and ...all the other 100 steps you have to go through...well, it was really aggressive. I ended up pulling a 180 in a low traffic highway hahahaha....car has LOADS of power.
You are right though, for street use, the DCT is amazing and it really feels close to the feel you would get while driving a real paddle shit racing transmission in a Ferrari for example. For the track, I think I will stick with the 6M.
I will order my M3 next week! Really looking forward to it.
