I agree, and it's also much easier to get your wife-who REFUSES to learn how to drive a manual-to approve of the M3 purchase if you bypass the 6MT. See, it helps with all sorts of "driving problems".

The only reason I went for a DCT was the wife. I am glad that I did it, though. It's the first car I've even owned that has any sort of automatic mode, yet it retains the joy of chosing shift points.

If I feel the need to experience things with a manual transmission, I do have one of the slicker versions in my 2003 S2K.
