If you are coming from a 6MT to a DCT is feels so much quicker. I drove a Manual M3 for about 6 months. I traded it for DCT and the car honestly feels 2X as fast.

You may be saying that sarcastically, so know this is an in general comment by me.
But I love how some call the non-ZCP M3s "Civic M3s". Interesting how BMW makes so few M3s in general compared to most other sports cars. I guess I should call you ZCP owners Civic M3 owners, because the E90, like I have, is still more limited production.

put in an aftermarket filter and they both sound the same.

DCT is so MUCH better than 6MT all around, I just don't know why its offered. Its like buying a porsche 911 GT3 and using 87 octane gas with 185 tires with it.
DCT will be always faster and more "involved" Like those formula cars.... |

hmmmmmmmm weird why is it then that the gt3 is only offered with the manual? maybe its a true involvement, visceral thing you wouldnt understand.

The car that Car & Driver used for the 3.9 second 0-60 run was equipped with Pilot Sport 2s. Did early year M3s come with different tires? I think that sticker tires, updated DCT software and a warmer day could result in a slight improvement in times. You also have to remember that if you are going from a three year old car to a brand new one. A car with 30- to 40,000 miles will drive differently than a car fresh from its 1,200 mile service. Just my 2 cents
Edit: Why do people always end up talking about DCT vs 6MT? I'm glad they are both offered so people don't have to compromise when they are buying a $70,000 car. If you want DCT, get it. If you want manual, get it. I love both. Additionally, there are people (like me) who want F1 to go back to full manuals, less aero and less rules so we can see who the best driver is and not who has the best wind tunnel but these are two completely separate topics. Stop flooding threads with useless posts and ideas. Last edited by Mahzari; 08-16-2011 at 01:11 AM.. |

They should come up with some sort of 2 in 1 transmission. Push a button and a clutch slowly descends for some 3 pedal action. Then when u feel like letting the computer take over with lighting fast deadly precise shifts just push the button again and enjoy the best of both worlds
