No. I don't think I missed the point.
You're comparing a manual F1 car vs a computer controlled F1 car.
I'm comparing a grocery getter manual M3 to a grocery getter DCT. The former two are both F1 cars. They are designed for only one thing; getting around a track. The computers have only one goal, racing. With the DCT, the transmission is programmed first and foremost for getting groceries; with secondary priority being track use.
Please don't buy into the ///Marketing hype.

So you'd rather call the 414HP M3 a grocery getter than admitting that DCT is better. Wow
So what would Toyota camry, Honda accord, Lexus (any of them), passat,..,.. Be?? To take the trash out? Or for mail box trips??
With all due respect, E9x M3 is NOT a grocery getter. I hope your weekend is better than your sour experience with 2008 DCT!
