If using for track day events, the DCT is preferable *for me* so that's what I would choose. Its faster, easier to focus on driving, and no chance of mis-shifting.
I find a proper Manual is more enjoyable for every day driving on public roads. |

I grew up on manual's but love new tech so nothing but love for DCT. I've had both on e92's. If the M2 adopts the f8x manual with rev matching I might go back to a manual. It's just a personal preference thing. Ideally, I'd take one of each and depending on my mood...

I would take it with DCT - Manual only was one of the reasons I did not buy an 1M.
I drove stick for years... it's just not that fun anymore with todays traffic conditions. + DCT will be faster and it will make the car feel more "special" (at least to me). |

Anyone with a fear of mis shifting ..probably should order a DCT. Well, that or learn to drive hehehehe. \ EDIT: Never mind what I just said. I just remembered that I have seen an 2008 E90 M3 DCT motor failure on track... and the driver ( a very experienced solo driver) informed me it happened on the upshift ... it was a Massive blowup... fire out the back of the car while at COTA.. car was out of warranty period. Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 09-29-2015 at 08:24 AM.. Reason: FORGOT that i have seen an M-DCT blow up on the track |

The day the warranty has expired, those with a DCT are gonna curse louder than those with an MT, due to the wallet-hurt if the transmission ever breaks down. A few left clicks too much...

Manual for me, but I will try the auto in a 235i first to see how it is. In the uk the majority of cars have always been manual although there are probably more autos around now. Only time I drive an auto is hire cars abroad (it helps, what with steering wheel being on the other side like!)

I prefer the sloppiness of a good ol' CVT! nothing says speed and performance like a CVT. If there's no carbon fibre CVT option, I'm refusing to buy!

DCT, had fun driving a 6mt for eight years and that was enough... Everything that made MTs great in terms of performance has been invalidated, besides the anecdotal "feel and exp". Ideally, I'd go for an F1 clutch, which would be even sweeter, but I'd be willing to settle with decent DCT...
Similar analogue would be to forgo using a PC and keyboard, in favor of a typewriter because of the "experience and authenticity"... LOL |

No question my preference for a track car is manual. It may not be as quick as Auto but the challenge in using it right is part of what it is all about. For a daily driver though has to be auto. I traded a manual in on the M235i after 5 years of commuting in it, now have the auto. My track car is manual. |

I guess that the message that he kindly tried to get across for you consisted of questioning whether you're a professional or semi-professional race pilot for whom every millisecond counts to win prizes in race competitions.

Manual for me. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer to this (short) age old question. To each his (or her) own. I've had DCT transmissions and they are great in some ways and annoying in others. But yes, manual all the way this time. Thank you BMW for still offering the fun manual!
