We do like and buy a LOT of automatic trannys here. The good thing about DCT is that it lets all the non-enthusiasts have what is essentially an automatic in the M3 and at the exact same time it gives all the performance and technology junkies and true track fiends a great transmission solution as well. Trust me BMW wants to get this tranny in the US ASAP.
Especially in the 4-door and Convertible...
