Thanks. for people who are still undecided on what options to choose that is very helpfull. But there are not that many ways to skin the cat. If I want Mdrive and enhanced premium sound then I will have to take the technology package which already includes EDC and navigation system which I both don't want

My big dilemna though is 6MT or DCT. I read this very good article on DCT (link below) plus the BMW M3 official document on DCT and I now understand DCT has nothing to do with an automatic transmission (no shitty couple converter that ruins efficiency and planetary gearbox) but the dual clutch is a wet clutch with clutch packs not a dry clutch like in manual transmission. So I am not entirely convinced that I will like this. I know DCT will be more performant but if 6MT is more fun that's what I want. I think they should have made a dual clutch manual with the clutch pedal controling engagement of one clutch and disengagement of the other ! Any thought ?
