And my final comment on 6MT:
As described in my post above, when trail braking for a turn and downshifting while heel-n-toein' a driver is performing 5 physical actions with four appendages while cognitively planning for the corner exit and possibly even checking the mirror for that faster DCT equipped car that's about to pass, while the DCT driver is eating a hamburger and getting a BJ.
LOL This is GOLD

In regards to original post that started this show, money does not buy ability, sell your M3. M3 is for people who want to drive the car (6MT or DCT - doesn't matter). You sound like you should have bought the 520D but saw the M3 and got excited
