Can anyone explain what Kretschmer means when he says that the disadvantage of DCT is that you can't have more than 7 gears without adding additional components? Is he essentially saying that if you wanted an 8 speed dual-clutch you would have to add a third wet clutch? I just don't know enough about dual clutch transmissions to understand what he is saying there.

Also, anyone have more info on BMW's newest 8-speed automatic? Is this a torque converter automatic?
