First, for me, was throttle response, in mid rpm, while in gear, with both cars in sport mode. Overall, the DCT in manual mode just felt like it accelerated harder and responded to throttle input faster. Just felt more on edge.
The second part was the notchiness shifting through the gates (which I've experienced to some extent with prior bmws, and just overall lack of precision and mechanical feel. My porsche manual transmission, for example, has terrible gearing (too tall), but somewhat makes up for it with very satisfying mechanical precision and feel.
Third, the clutch is super light. Not a big deal, but much lighter than I'm used to.
Finally, 6th gear runs pretty high rpm versus 7th gear in DCT.
