I think this is an extreme approach. The OP wants an E93. If one is really concerned with high performance driving (best enjoyed at a track), then they would not consider the E93 to begin with.
Also M-DCT is perfect for people with no experience with MT. You start out using D. You get bored. Then you try S and slowly you learn. Automatic clutch operation and safeguards let you concentrate on getting your shifts points right.
If you haven't driven MT before and want an M3 you should still get it. It is going to be serious fun if the intention is to learn to drive a high performance car like this. The DCT is the best way to teach you shifting because unlike other automatics it is actually fun in manual mode. The M3 driving experience is not exclusively for people who have been shifting MT all their lives.
