Where I garage it, I have to nudge right up to the back wall, if I stop short, I have to apply throttle two inches from the wall. But it's very smooth through the gears, much improved over the first DCT car I tested.

How many miles you clocked on your present car Mate?
Only clocked up 7000 miles on my current car Del -had it just over a year but i've spent a lot of time away on courses during that time and then 6 months over here by Oct, i think this is the reason i want another M3, still have an itch to scratch!! Car still smells and looks brand new - seems a shame to change it as i've had zero issues but i've been offered a deal that i can't decline!

Glad you generally like the DCT - don't want to sound patronising but i assume you know about the 'low speed assistant'?? - very lightly tap the accelerator and the car will start to creep like a regular automatic.
