Missed this completely!
IMHO, I repeat IMHO;
I did an extensive testdrive with the M4 M-DCT about 1000km (!!), coming from the Cayman GTS PDK, also have owned E46 M3 6MT, E92 M3 6MT, E82 1M 6MT (Now F87 M2 on order ETA april 2016)
Well, the auto function DCT can in NO way match the auto PDK, the DCT is to slow in picking the right gear, especially on downshifts.
The PDK is faster in picking the right gear in up- and downshifts, it can be easily modulated and manipulated by throttle, just lift a little and up she shifts, the DCT will take far more time to react on lifting and than up shifting.
So if people are motivated by buying a DCT because of dd in cities and love the auto function, be advised IMHO.
Should I buy a Porsche in the future I would without hesitation by a PDK, BMW has work to do on the (auto function) DCT, so far I will definite buy a BMW 6MT. (I did this with the M2)
