Don't forget that M-DCT is not just offering better shift speeds but also offers significantly different gearing and in 2nd and 3rd much more torque to the ground.

As well, like the other poster mentioned 1st gear is correct in the M3 at 50 km/h. You can not get a totally fair shake if you are in the wrong gear. That being said 1st may be the best gear on the M5 as well.
