Need Group Therapy................I spent the morning with fellow enthusiasts but this bunch just didn't get the whole manual trans thing. "It's not as fast" and "Who wants to be a slave to shifting". I explained the hands and feet involvement thing and being a purest all to no avail.

I think you either get it or you don't.

Hi all, long-time BMW owner of many different chassis here, all were manual transmission vehicles. I'm currently in the market for an E90 M3, and have been searching for a Red car with 6MT for many months to no avail. One absolutely beautiful car has just become available that ticks all the boxes except one: it is DCT-equipped. Is the DCT really that bad? I promise I'm not trying to be a troll here - this is a legitimate question. Do I need to be talked back from the ledge, or could I be happy with the paddles? Help!

I think you could be happy with the paddles. I am too afraid of that one moment of not having three pedals and then I'd constantly try to validate why dct is better. Because it is faster and more technology wouldn't be enough for me to be satisfied because neither of those involve my driving skills.

Belated request for entry; while I just missed a 1 to 2 shift yesterday on my high speed on ramp fun run, my overall coordination has improved greatly since getting my e93 6MT this summer...

Happy holidays!

Greetings. Happy to announce that I am finally joining the BMW family after years of lurking. Just picked up my 13 e92 M3 in Alpine White and Fox Red Interior in 6 speed manual. Spent the whole weekend driving her around and all I can say right now is that I am in love... Here's some photo of the car. I will be doing a photoshoot this weekend. Will post more update later!

My new baby

Picked up my BMW m3 about 3 weeks ago and I was searching for one literarily for months! I used to own a e92 335i 2012 and that one had been lemoned because of the crazy amount of issues it gave me. Then I had bought a VW Gti and I absolutely hated that car! So I got rid of the GtI and began the search for a m3 and finally found one! She is a 2008 e92 alpine white m3 with 26k miles. I'm very happy with the car and I do not daily it so I only take it out on the weekends!

A ha, just found this row-your-own club, sign me up!

I must confess, although i religiously chose 6MT, that after buying my new-to-me E92 I was pretty disappointed with the clutch and shifter. I described it to a friend as like shifting a truck. And the whole first week I owned the car I couldn't get used to the clutch with its weird lack of any engagement sensation and unusual high engagement point. So I just installed an "ultimate clutch pedal" which solved the clutch feel problem. Next up is the rubbery feeling shifter, i don't see a reason why a front-engine RWD car should have a rubbery shifter, the tranny is quite close to the shifter and no stretchy/flexy cables are needed. After some research, the shifters from Ronald at Autosolutions seem to squarely address my desires (precision and tactile feel of shifter, I'm not worried about very short throws or a "smooth" shift) so I'm ordering up one of them. I do dread the installation of the shifter though, I hear stories of finicky clips in inaccessible locations and scraped knuckles, and I can already hear my wife complaining ("are you still working on that stupid car??")

I'm in! Last month I sold my 2011 e92 DCT with 37K miles because I was missing the 3rd pedal. The day after I sold the DCT, less than 24 hours later, I was driving home in a 2013 e92 6MT with 21K miles on it. Wish I could have both!
