Devo suggested the idea for an updated M-DCT (M-DKG) poll.

I always knew it would be phenomenal. I just wasn't sure if I could wait until 2009 for it. Now I know I don't have to. Personally I think the M3 with M-DCT is going to be a car to be totally respected on the road or on a track.

M-DCT?
If my build date was later (currently Week 6) I would consider this, but I don't want a 2-month minimum delay in getting my car. I think the attractiveness for me is more about having the latest thing than actual function. It would be nice to have the Auto mode for my wife; she can drive a stick fine, but prefers less-involved driving!

It had better not do the herky-jerkies like SMGII can. That being said, I am so looking forward to it. Faster and better gas mileage? That's a them I want continued in the next-gen M3.

I am not going to repeat the mistake of my previous M3 with SMG.The car was great on track,but in all round use it was not a great experiance to drive.I just got rid of a GTI with the DSG and it was just the reverse,great on the street but crap on track.It upshifted by itself before redline,downshifted on its own when trying to contol wheelspin exiting corners and would delay downshifts when you actually needed a lower gear.I would have been quicker in a normal 6 speed car as I would have been able to utilize the great midrange torque that that engine had.
I will drive one and if I am sold on it,I will order a newcar and unload my 6 speed one.The one thing the DCT will allow is that my wife could drive it,so maybe the 6 speed will be fine afterall |

I am pretty sure that the M-DCT will be great,but I will do my due diligence before actually having one.I do feel that BMW's development will be much better than than VW/Audi has ever done on their DSG and hopefully my concerns will be a non-issue. |

Maybe you need another line in there just to see how many that are vote for the M-DGK box are previous SMG owners. If you have lived with it then this well be a revelation, I wish I could have voted more than once as I would have ticked the top box as well.

Just went to my dealer today and he photocopied me a 15 page in dept description of M-DCT/Drivelogic. Havnt read through all of it yet but launch control is going to be sick!

The thing is the last gen SMG that was in the E46 was great. Having been in a E46 CS with SMG, I was very impressed and we all know that works great in the CSL. The MDCT was and is only going to be better. I convinced of this fact....

i work on benzes at a dealer and we havent heard any mention at all of a new tranny of any sort. they train us on new things very well in advance, so i wouldnt hold your breath on a dual clutch benz...but who knows.
id rather have the 6 speed...sure, its not as fast, but its definitely funner. if i were in the market for the fastest car out there, i wouldnt be getting an m3...its a car that i would drive to enjoy myself with. even the clk63 black series gets boring after a while with its paddle shifters... cheers. edit: wheres the poll choice for those of us who were considering dkg but decided against it?? |
