Even still, the DCT in the F10/12/13/06 Ms can only handle about 650-700 WTQ before the clutches start slipping...ONLY. LOL. DPs and a Stage 2 tune will get you there easily. But I digress...
I really like the SMG in the M3 because it was lightning fast (not as fast as the DCT) but more importantly, because in the fastest setting it would make a very distinct mechanical sound, it was just satisfying to drive. However, it was shit around town, especially in low speeds, and it was impossible to launch effectively off the line...either massive wheel spin or bog.
I'd side with the people that say that this transmission is definitely more suited for the track.

meh, I would stay away from any sort of SMG. they dont shift smooth and are unreliable, really at the early stages for this type of tech. the newer DCT's are great, but I would still rather get a manual.
