OP - the conversion would be very expensive and time consuming. Plus, do you or any shop you know familiar enough with such a unique conversion request? If not, even more so you should not do it. Recommend you sell the car, and start a new with a 2013 6MT.
Btw, I had the same reaction to using a DCT for a couple months. I really wanted to like it, but was bored at the end. Although, the DCT is the "better" transmission technically (speed, smoothness, etc. etc.), but it doesn't make me smile as much.

Go manual! Like others have said I test drove the DCT - did nothing for me. I love being driving the stick even if at times i suck with it - it keeps me coming back to learn the sorcery.

if you do it, you'll have to post how they did it. sounds like one unique and interesting mod - maybe the first ever on the forum.

The bottom line this is not a feasible option, beside the fact it would cost a small fortune, trying to find someone who is capable of doing it right will prove near impossible ..there are so many things to go wrong you would be asking for serious trouble.

If you do it on your own, I hope you have a lot of time on your hands and can get in touch with some good techs outside of Indonesia to help (better be great at taking and sending pics! LOL). You might find it more fruitful to experiment with different driving styles with the DCT to see if you can find a happy medium. |

The manual m3 was from the first batch of cars so quite old already and I don't really want to swap. I'm talking to the BMW dealership itself seeing how much it will cost total. If I decide to do it I'll do a write up for all of you guys.

This was my only car for a while that's why I got dct. Now it's becoming my track car. Being stripped as well soon. I don't use it much so don't mind it being in the shop for a long time.
