When I started shopping for an M3, I was dead set on a three pedal car. After all, all my other cars have 'proper manual transmissions' and that's the only way a car is fun and engaging, right?
So I shopped for awhile and was zeroing in on the right car when I went to a karting event with a couple of friends, one of whom has an e90 w/DCT. He offered to let me take it for a spin and I declined, saying that I'd driven a few 3-pedal cars because that's what I was looking for. He insisted that I at least try the DCT.
So I went for a long drive around the countryside in his car and I was hooked. The high-reving V8 in the M3 feels like it's meant to go with the DCT. It was what all the other e90's I'd driven were missing. I had a deal on my M3 (with DCT) a week or two later.
