I test drove both manual and DCT M3s. I am very adept at heel and toe and found that the DCT was fine for a road car.

Most tracks will not allow a convertible without a fixed roll bar so tracking an E93 is not generally an issue.

The Sedan is lighter and will definetely be faster but if you are drivng either on public roads at anything close to the limit you have a serious death wish.

Most drivers of paddle shifted race cars (F1, ALMS) left foot brake. I have been trying to learn how to do that but after years of right foot braking it feels totally unatural and I stink at it.
