I've had both. I like both.

Even if everyone here tells you that your mates are right and you should have gone with DCT what are you then going to do? Just drive the car and enjoy!

Crypty · 01-14-2013, 04:22 PM

Different strokes for different folks but if you ask me, get a 6MT. It's a blast unless you plan to be in a lot of traffic, like dd it to work during rush hour. In that case I'd go DCT.

Peahi · 01-14-2013, 04:59 PM

Yeah. Another one if these threads

This is not the "premiere" m3 discussion forum on the Internet

OP go back and read. Or maybe do a search.

LOL at the battle the lasted the entire production time of the car.

Franken///M · 01-14-2013, 07:45 PM

I think we have run out of anything new and interesting to talk about on this forum.

Sure if you idea of fun is playing with a knob...

WRXXX · 01-14-2013, 07:54 PM

Jesus Christ, it seems like every week we get one of these idiotic posts.

How about you drive what you like and don't give a rat's ass about what your friend's think?

DARK_M3 · 01-14-2013, 08:01 PM

I'm sorry, what was the question?

Should I pick the dark blue paint or the light blue paint? (which color is faster?)

Couldn't we have a permanent "Thread" that encapsulates all of these similar, eh, discussed-into-the-ground topics, and then just point an OP at them?

I'm not trying to be totally mean, but before I started writing anything on M3Post, I lurked and read a bunch before opening my big mouth. I already knew not to ask about colors, options, transmissions, etc.

Thx OP for helping me test that.

Was it good for you?

I like to

this thread, I'm sure you all

to do it too ... So

Let's talk about shoes and socks ... What type, make and / or style you like to wear when you drive your ///M3 ... ?

R3DL1N3 · 01-14-2013, 11:09 PM

I definitely can sympathize as someone looking in on the M brand. My concern isn't whether it's 6mt it's whether the 6mt in the m3 is up to the job. I've heard so many poor ratings and reviews I don't know what to get either. Makes me think its a 1M or nothing. Coming from an s2k which I feel is one of the best feeling trannys of all time makes me nervous too lol. To spend that kind of dough on a sub par shifting experience is not what I want to be doing. I suggest you do as other have suggested and try one out, I know I will be.
