You are both drawing conclusions based upon, well nothing really. The price difference between the DCT and manual was small when the cars were new, and remains small in the used car market (with the DCT being slightly more costly when new, and manuals commanding a slight price premium over similarly-equipped DCT cars on the used car market). The performance difference is also relatively small on the street, but meaningful on the track. However, few of our cars are dedicated track cars and most of us purchased a car with the transmission we personally prefer for the sort of driving we mostly do, whether it be paddle shift or stick shift. Each transmission has its benefits and disadvantages, and as long as each of us is happy with our own choice this debate is pointless.

What is your conclusion? Are you making the argument that DCT costs substantially more on the used market than 6MT or that people who are buying brand new M3s cannot afford the DCT option?

Am I the only one who wants to have both?
Some days, I'm perfectly happy with my DCT. Some days, I wish I had chosen a MT. I am actually considering to buy a MT E90 now when the prices getting low... but then my salary reminds me of that I should be driving a Yugo. |

This thread does not deliver. 0/10. No we can't all just get along. There will always be people who drive MT that will spout off saying DCT guys can't drive worth a shit, and there will always be DCT guys saying stupid shit like Patron in this thread about Grey Poupon and people supposedly "not being able to afford DCT". These are all inflammatory remarks, rooted in ignorance, and will forever keep us from all being able to get along.
Go home hippie.

Why is e46 M3 manual sought after and SMG ones forgotten or converted to manuals? Seriously man. Just stop and think a bit. |

Well, the horse hasn't quite been beaten enough in the previous 4000 threads on the subject and countless snarky comments sprinkled around in countless other threads over the past 8 years. I'm quite sure something new and fresh will turn up in this one.
