So, having a warranty is great because you know that BMW is paying, but not knowing when it may be fixed or if it will appear again can be frustrating to say the very least. Just go to a few M5/6 forums and search for the threads.
I am not saying that this will occur and am not saying that M-DCT will not be faster by virtue of gearing and quicker shifts. I am saying that this is a concern for many.
