That said, if you are hardcore purist that likes rowing even in traffic, go manual. You save a good bit of weight.

I agree the 6MT in the M3 is a mediocre and terrible gearbox. But what proof do you have regarding this often quoted statement that the M3 was "designed around" the DCT? In fact the M3 didn't even come with DCT option for almost a year after its launch!
