Having owned both, both have their good points and bad points. The best performance is with the DCT. Even beyond the published data, it is simply easier to access the capabilities of the car consistently and with very little effort/planning. Blowing a shift is something you have to work at the the DCT. Problem I have is that it's almost too good and I enjoy the inconsistency of my wrangling the 6MT. I can focus and get after the 6MT gear box and wring out the power but most of the time I'm slow to hit the right gear and no one can compete with the shift speed of the DCT. I still prefer the 6MT and the connection with the car. Modern cars have layers of controls and nannies and the DCT is another layer to be added. Part of my love of the M2 is it's "simple" and the 6MT seems appropriate and helps with the connection to a beautiful machine. Reality is getting into a 1971 BMW 2002 is closer to riding a horse than a modern car like the M2. Simple cannot exist anymore and for good reasons.
