True... I was never able to break 4.7 sec to 60 in my E90M3 MT, whereas DCT has been measured as low as 3.9-4.3 both in publications and by M3 board members. The short gearing in M3 MT through 1st gear makes launches even more difficult vs the DCT, as more torque is applied to the wheels in 1st vs the DCT. I knew this going into my purchase and after testdriving both the MT and DCT, the choice was obvious for me.

M6 GC with DCT will be one of BMW's most promising cars without any doubt in my humble opinion. With BMW doing so many fucked up things these days, its nice to see them actually get something right for once...
