Looks like M-DCT isn't going to give an extra 20hp in performance and solve world hunger.

It is going to be an awesome, reliable, smooth gearbox, clearly better than SMG3.....

But Swamp2 is not going to like there is a perceptable interruption in acceleration. But he should be happy of the neck snapping effect of a S6 upshift.....

The M3 is going to chirp gears all the way from the 3rd gear to 4th gear upshift.
