The more you explain how the M3 has the same punch, the more I think you haven't sat behind the wheel of a C63. I agree with you though, I feel the DCT does a good job of helping make immediate passes.

I never said that the m3 has the same punch as a c63. I am merely stating that there is no problem passing cars without downshifting. The torque is more than sufficient in that regard. The way the op is expressing his observations makes it seem as though the m3 has no pull at lower rpms which is simply not the case. If your driving 65 in seventh gear there is plenty of juice to get you going without having to downshift. Now if your driving a manual m3 thats a different story but there shouldn't be any issue with a dct coupe or sedan.
