People pay 150k for cars that only come with 6MT. I guess they're wrong too?
Cost has ZERO to do with a preference. I have both versions and I like both for what they are. But the 6MT is hardly a downgrade as you are trying to make it sound.
If I had to guess, you're one of those guys that can't work on his own car. Doesn't track, doesn't mod and would also think the e93 m3 is better because it "costs more" right?
Get real... They are both great! It's a preference! Not an upgrade.

Im in the club...^^^ hes just mad because a performance car is about speed and hes slower.
By the way I have been working on cars since I was young, just sold a manual corvette with 700 hp, supercharged, meth, boost a pump, you name it ...I did it. So his delusion that people that don't work on their cars have DCTs is crap.
In fact I would guess hes one of those that works on his car ( changes oil etc.) but does not modify it. Or maybe he does modify but pays someone else to do it for him...lol. I say this because anyone who is a true performance car junky/modifer is always looking for that extra tenth of a second somewhere, weight reduction, power increase, and yes shift times!!
When I test drove the M3 I gladly went with the first upgrade modification on the M3 which is the DCT....where there is speed one must go. Honestly, unsure why anyone who cares about speed and modifications would buy a slower car ....when the DCT is faster. In the corvette world the manual is faster than the automatic so you buy the manual. However, in the M3 world it isn't so why buy it? Maybe so you can tell your friends your a "purist" who changes his own oil?
I always changed my manual shifters in my past cars to short throw to reduce shift times. The DCT reduces shift times people!! So you "purists" go be purists and lose races. The bottom line is that if any sports car has a faster shifting option is a performance upgrade.
