If that still works, I would be happy. I dont use it much, but I really think its lame you can downshift two gears at once using the DCT feature it comes with. If a 6 speed manual can go from 6th to 4th, then we should be able to as well using the feature DCT comes with in manual mode. Being forced to downshift 2 gears back to back seems lame to me not being in a blown M3 yet.

So if at what point in HP does this become a problem on the DCT motors? Anyone know?
I didn't know you could do this, I'll have to try it out.

Keep in mind, driving a blown M3 is a different world of power available at your fingertips. When going WOT, downshifting or trying to find the right gear is not near as important as holding the fuk on and hoping that you don't shit your pants. The level of power is just insane and redline comes so effin fast no matter what gear you're in.
