I disagree. There was a DCT available for the 335is and not other 3 series. Furthermore, we know the DCT from the one series (same unit as 335is?) can be paired to this engine. I understand your reasoning, but I think that the DCT R&D would not be overwhelmingly expensive.
I haven't followed the non M Bimmers for years now. Great info., btw! Now DCT seems much more logical. I hope they do it.
