True. The transmission shifts just around as fast as that in the M3 (splitting hairs at that point - but as where the m3 seems to gain momentum between shifts, the MCT doesnt at all, if that makes any sense) - my only complaint is the downshifts with the MCT, they are not as crisp as those of the DCT in the M3 (it runs a dual clutchautomatic, but isn't a "true" dual clutch transmission as you stated). The transmission is not as raw, but it does the job - it's worlds apart from the standard tranny in the earlier c63s imho
