Is your e92 DCT? How come when I go to put it in drive after turning on the car , it goes automatically into manual mode? And then after I click it again to the right it goes into normal drive

You should be able to find someone local. I use BIM Coding, who is based out of Seattle. He can do it remotely if you have a Windows laptop, and he'll ship you the cable (they are tied to VINs so needs to be programmed). |

Why choose...get both, that's what I did. Well I got an E90 instead. lol
IMG_3570 by dj_dub, on Flickr IMG_4369a by dj_dub, on Flickr They both having different driving experiences which I love and had to have both. My E46 was originally SMG and I enjoyed it while it was working. Once it started to have problems consistently, I got tired of the headache and I did a 6MT swap. It's nice having both M3s 6MT now.

There's way more cases when I want it to start and D and then switch to M later rather than starting in M from start. |

Wow. That's so far removed from my mindset I'm dumbfounded. I wish BMW never programmed the auto mode into either the SMG or DCT in the M-models, but I digress. |

If people didn't want it, Dinan, EAS, and every coder out there wouldn't be offering it. It's a personal preference to be sure. If you don't like it, that's cool. But a lot of people do. |

The new 8 speed ZF's that BMW use are actually pretty good. They still don't shift as quick as a DCT, but they are MUCH better than torque converter autos from just 3 years ago. I drove a new Corvette with their automatic (which I think is GM's own box... not a ZF or Getrag but not 100% sure) and I swear I was controlling it with paddles. It held gears when I wanted, downshifted when I wanted, and really the average person couldn't tell it wasn't a fancy dual clutch. But I also fall into the camp of 3-pedals isn't the end-all-be-all of a car. I want fast shifts, and I there's no way, even with my upgraded clutch in my E46 that I can shift as fast as the DCT. I just prefer paddles any day of the week. Again, personal preference. |

With GTS software it's pretty much just as smooth, the difference is the DCT software (both OEM and GTS) has **much** better logic. The 8 speed drives me mad and I had to retrofit paddles and use it in auto mode to not lose my mind. 8th gear is incredibly long and left to its own devices it'll shift into 7th, then 6th in every grade it finds. Two *stupid* shifts 2 seconds apart. Wasn't this gearbox supposed to be able to shift several gears in one go? Bullshit. The DCT on the other hand is so good in auto mode it doesn't drive me crazy. It never does two individual shifts to get down to the gear it's decided it wants. Obviously part of the blame lies in the S65 vs N55 engines, but still, it's annoying. |
