This is especially true with a car having the fun power way up top like the E90M3, but is also true even on a car with massive torque. Consider how the new M5 twin turbo with DCT runs away from the new M5 twin turbo with 6MT.
The only potential drawback I perceive is long term maintenance and repair expense. The costs will be higher, but they are not really known yet.

I know it's off topic, but what are your thoughts about the next gen I6TT (reason I signed up here)? I am in two minds about changing my E92 for another 2013 E92 as I love the V8 mated to the DCT.....but I don't know if I'm the only person considering such a thing. The allure of the last NA M engine fully built by M without worry for emissions is a tempting, but is it worth it...
