DCT maintenance

I initially ordered a MT, but it looks like the DCT box has a higher load rating which will actually allow me to tune the car properly so it's the better route to go in the long term

Has anyone run into any major issues with their DCT box? Any preventative maintenance that you guys are doing?

My GTI has a DSG (VW's brand name of double clutch transmission). The only maintenance it's required has been fluid changes every 4 years/40,000 miles. I love that transmission and, as far as I can tell, it's working just as well now (6 years later) as it was brand new.

I think mine makes a clutch smell when it's shifting hard in sport+ at high RPM... which I should probably have BMW look into...... No problems though as far as functionality or sounds. I saw some people complain about a smell from it on other BMW DCTs but it seems rare and I didn't see any conclusions about it so I probably just got an unlucky DCT.
