Anyways, like you, I moved on from a 6MT to a DCT. I have the same thoughts exactly, the DCT is a really good system. Shifts are smooth but super quick. It turns the car into a different experience. So far I don't miss the 6MT at all.

What I like about the DCT is simply its ability to drive like a slushy automatic in traffic in its lowest setting.

I concur on the agility feeling moving from a E93. I test drove a E93 M3 DCT after driving my E90 M3 for a year. I can definitely feel the added weight of the car and its turn-ins were not as sharp. Almost felt like a longer wheelbase car.

I felt the same. Then I lowered my e93 with K.W H.A.S. springs and that shit hugged the road like it was on rails. Drop was about 1.5 inches. It is a must.
