To add to that, an owner of a S55/DCT combo is really going to be in for a shock. We'll see what they do with the tuning, S58 is not nearly as punchy down low and the ZF is about 7/10ths of the DCT in terms of shift quickness. It's a much different driving experience.
There's no way I'd be considering a ZF8/S58 G87 - I've driven the same config in the G80/2 and was 'meh'.

A manual G87 I'd give serious thought to, but not to replace the DCT F87.
