In particular, the car creeps at idle in "drive", minimal engine reving when moving off with almost imperceptible full clutch engagement. At no time did the Porsche feel like or shift to neutral, as opposed to the M3 which always felt in "neutral" when I wasn't on the gas and slightly clunky as the clutch engaged.

Is that the normal behavior of the M3 or perhaps the car I test drove had a problem?
Bump - I just test drove a 2009 997 with PDK and was very impressed. I'm cross shopping against the M3 (haven'y had a chane to test drive one yet) and am wondering how the DCT compares...
