im not even going to start about 6MT or DCT.... all im going to say to the OP is dont skip gear.... its bad and its not good for your tranny.
blip it when your downshifting (oh try doing this when your in corners its fun)... dont need that when upshifting.... dude forget what people are saying... they will argue all day on whos right and wrong... funny none of them are pro drivers... just have fun and try a little thing here and there with the car... and you will get it sooner than you think... GOODLUCK..

It is fun to watch, I'm yet to accomplish a long enough one. Still working on it. Tomorrow will be the first day I'll take the M3 to track. I have a feeling it is easier to control it than Z4 MC.
Back to the point, I'm not sure messing with clutch is a good way to upset the balance of the car and hence start a drift. Aren't you suppose to be done with your braking and shifting before you corner? I take the drifting as a way of cornering.

Downshifting in the middle of a turn is never a good idea as it can cause trailing clutch oversteer (TCO). On a track downshifting and threshold braking is done while the car is going straight. You can prgressively release the brakes (trail brake) as you go around the curve. This technique can be used to mildly rotate the car and help get it pointed in the right direction. A drift can be initialted by snapping off the accellerator to break the rear tires loose and then applying enough throttle to keep them spinning. By modulating the throttle and the steering a drift can be held throughout the corner. This not really something that is done in track driving as it may look spectacular but is by no means the fastest way to get around a turn. The best place to practice is on a wet skid pad. CA

Cool video with some great shots of some excellent footwork with a 6MT M3.

DCT's obviously not having a driver-kickable clutch, (again, w/ DSC turned off) you just turn and get on the throttle. How much throttle depends on the situation, but when done right, you'll get the tailend coming out just as nicely. This guy is in a DCT M3:

You're comparing a manual F1 car vs a computer controlled F1 car. I'm comparing a grocery getter manual M3 to a grocery getter DCT. The former two are both F1 cars. They are designed for only one thing; getting around a track. The computers have only one goal, racing. With the DCT, the transmission is programmed first and foremost for getting groceries; with secondary priority being track use. Please don't buy into the ///Marketing hype.

So what would Toyota camry, Honda accord, Lexus (any of them), passat,..,.. Be?? To take the trash out? Or for mail box trips?? With all due respect, E9x M3 is NOT a grocery getter. I hope your weekend is better than your sour experience with 2008 DCT!

Winning! That was great.... I'm sick of this dumb ass sh**t. F off if you like your 6mt better than DCT. that's great, but no need to make someone feel shitty for having it. I mean really are you that much of a pu**y that you all feel the need to constantly put down everyone else for their choices with their cars? Its absurd; your 6mt doesn't make you a man. And if the 6mt is really the sportier transmission and thats your reason for getting it, then why the f would you get a sedan!??

What's even funnier are the folks that think the automatic in their M3 has some kind of bloodline to the F1 transmissions. It's a freakin' automatic with programming to keep all the paddle flapping F1 wannabees safe while they drive back and forth to pick up groceries. It's functionality and programming is completely different from an F1 transmission. And that, folks, is why I'm happier driving a manual transmission at 10/10ths than the DCT. I know the transmission is going to do what I want it to do, instead of what some committee in Germany thinks it should do.
