I have always been a MT driver and a few months back I got to drive a friend of mine AA Stage 2 SC with DCT. I am really kicking myself when I bought my e90 M back in 2010 for not giving the DCT a chance. For a 70-80k car this is one of the best transmissions out on the market. I have a 2010 DB9 and that transmission is garbage in comparison to the DCT in the M.

If I were to do it all again, without even the slightest of doubt I would of chosen the DCT over the MT in this car. The 6MT in the M just does not sit right in the car in my opinion and feels almost sloppy and out of place considering how the rest of the car was built.

The 4.10 diff by DINAN certainly helps though and is a must do mod in my opinion no matter how against modding you are.
