Something tells me you meant to say "never" not "always"

haha... the issue is " M6GC is not as fast as M6 Coupe" so basically you can't keep up

6 Speed MT?!?! Why??
The car is too big, boaty, and it will feel much slower being manual transmission. Just my personal .02 cent opinion being an M6 owner.

After test driving the DCT- as long as you can power shift efficiently- there's no better fun/ more engaging way

I am sure a DCT is faster, but honestly, in the relevant conditions, it's all really fast. I just think it will be more fun with a manual. I will definitely slow it down with "user error," but I don't want the car's internal robots to have all the fun/ challenge of getting the shifting right. |

It all comes down to the driver. .01 faster shifts are not felt, but if you aren't a very good manual driver (as some of my friends found out when driving my 14 model) it will be slower. Power shifting is tricky on this clutch but totally doable. Take it first hand from someone who's driven both- MT is much more fun- however, a huge pain during rush hour. (That's the only negative I can think of) Plus- people are when they see it

And once it's here in the states, you'll be part of the club being one of the rare(r) ones out there- given how they're not as common as it is even with a DCT- with the MT!

M6 is not boaty at all. It's big but not boaty. It's nimble if you know how to push it to the limit...

You can be easily be mislead by how heavy this car really is because of the significant power/response the V8 Twin Turbo puts out in other words ///M Power "The Ultimate Driving Machine" The "boaty" term is based on: 1. The car being big 2. The significant heavy weight of the vehicle 3. Handling due to the length of the vehicle Again this based on my own personal experiences working for BMW myself and being an ///M Certified Specialist from BMW USA. Not to mention I drive these cars for a living

There is no comparison to shifting when you are trying to compare a manual to a BMW ///M DCT Sequential Gearing speed. (Night & day) As for the "FUN" factor, HELL YES it would be more fun and exciting to drive by thinking you'd have more control of the vehicle by gearing. However BMW still uses the 6 speed getrag transmissions they've used in previous ///M cars like the older M3, M5, and M6's. The only difference w the new M3/4's are that they have a carbon fiber drive shaft for quicker shifting on the DCT Transmissions with an entirely new redefined gearing for this particular model. I am just not a big fan of driving manual in large cars (personal opinion) bc it feels like I am driving a tractor. I've driven the new F10 M5's in manual as far as the E60 V10 M5 (previously owned) and the E39 M5's. I couldn't stand how much slower they felt compared to both SMG / DCT when driving them. Hats off to being different and getting what you want as far as having 6-Speed Manuel for the M6 Grand Coupe! That is just not the car I would neglect having a DCT Sequential Manual Gearbox for a fun enjoyable factor. ( I am assuming you based this choice on driving both to compare, yes?) I was like to think ahead when buying a car for resale value being in the car business myself. Keep in mind I drive BMW & ///M cars for a living working for BMW.

Oh good to see a guy who knows how to drive an M car is letting me know what car I am driving. So since you are M certified, please let me know how another boaty car which is based off the 7 series as you mentioned (M5 30 Jahre) can keep up with a track oriented M car (M4) on a 1:20 racetrack and just be 0.2 second slower? not to mention the driver (EVO driver) was an M4 owner with 6 months experience behind the wheel of M4 and zero experience behind the wheel of M5?
