Having extensive seat time in both DCT and MT S55 cars I don't agree at all. The low end torque makes either transmission perform well. If anything this was much more true on the old S65 powered M3.

DCT is not great in automatic mode in my opinion. Very jerky and unfriendly. Its really good and fast when using the paddles though.
