I'm a noob here, and almost made the mistake of posting the same question..whew, glad i didn't.
After some searching, it appears the manual needs a "DSSR" shifter rod to improve it's feel.
I'm in the kicking tire mode, trying to find a good deal on an M3. I think my decision will be based more on what kind of deal I get, and whatever transmission it has will be fine. I've driven a 335is with the DCT last year. What I like about it is that it keeps the engine right in it's powerband, banging off shifts at lightening speed. I'd think it would be slightly faster in a roll race, but a good manual driver could probably even it up. I've never owned an automatic in a sports car, but this DCT isn't a slushbox.
