1. If all these things are available, why not make full use of them?
2. Traffic in my town is a nightmare. My 6M E90 335 (and the shifter was incredible, tight & snappy like a rifle bolt) had me worrying about premature clutch wear (clutch, 1st, 10 feet forward, clutch, neutral). Flip DCT into D, crawl along in traffic...find an open stretch, hello S5!
3. M-DCT DOES NOT UPSHIFT FOR YOU in S. Therefore it is a manual. Semi-automatic, automated, whatever...but still a manual.
4. Anyone really worried about performance: the M-DCT is faster and smoother than you'll ever be rowing a stick.
5. I COMPLETELY AGREE with the 6M having more driving enjoyment, but I'll take the benefits I mentioned in trade.
Very happy with it!

100 i agree 6MT is sheer driving pleasure, but the DCT is just amazing to deal with!
