Just another point coming from an ex-E46 M3 Vert owner to an E90 M3...When the top was down on the E46 M3, there was still room in the trunk to have luggage..with the E93 M3 & top down, you won't be able to store even 1/3 of what you did with the E46 M3...It was the trade off for a solid droptop when top is up. When I saw that at the dealership, when I was looking at the E9xs, my thoughts of going Vert went away.

I bought the E90 M3 because it is my family car. I miss the E46 M3 Vert at times, but I know that if the E46 M3 origionally came as a sedan, I would have only gotten that back then too!

As for the DCT, I wish there was one available when I purchased my car, but I'm getting better at shifting again...both my E46 M3s were/are SMG and haven't driven a stick in like 6 years...but I'm learning that if you shift at around 5500 RPM around town, you get much smoother shifts.
