Long before I ordered my M3, I had the opportunity to drive DCT M3s at the BMW Performance Center during a CCA event. I found the flappy paddles distracting and often wound up in the wrong gear. I never quite got the hang of it. So I did my last several laps in one of the automatic modes and found that was boring. While I understand the technical superiority of the DCT, it just wasn't for me. I'm not an anti-auto transmission guy (our 535 has a great 8AT), but for my "fun" car, I want 3 pedals.
