I am going to take a DCT for a test drive.

End of an era as in NA? I'm not an expert, but don't some say the era finished when they went from I6 to V8. Whether the F80 M3/M4 comes with a I6, V6 or a diesel, I am sure it will be worthy of the M badge.
Yes. The V8 changed the M3's character but it's still high revving. What other mass production car has an 8400 redline? And by era I mean high revving Naturally aspirated. The DCT is very nice and very quick. Best of luck.
