steptronic zf with zsp.
i know most people on these forums are huge advocates of manual transmissions, but i think something has to be said about the technology that has been put into these newer automatic transmissions. i honestly wouldn't even consider the dct as an automatic,but rather a modified manual. i have driven many dct m3's as well as 6mt and there is no comparison. that m3 with dct is absolutely amazing. it completely changes the car...for the better!
