No, I learned to drive a manual and to double clutch and H&T back in the early 70's on my mom's Toyota Corolla. I actually entered that thing in a club-level night rally race. Don't know how I talked mom into that. But, that car survived. Most of my cars over the years have been manuals.

However, I test-drove a DCT equipped 335is on the weekend and was quite impressed with the tranny. I couldn't believe how quickly it did a D7 to D3 direct downshift when merging onto the highway. The sales guy is arranging for me to test drive an M3 soon.
