The DCT in auto mode drives me nuts so I only drive it in manual mode. Going from 1st to reverse and back again is slow, but it doesn't bother me much, I spend most of my time moving forward anyway.

I hear with the MT some people notice a loss of boost when shifting up through the gears that isn't there on the DCT.

The DCT will be more expensive to repair but if you do a search for transmission issues the DCT has been reliable and been more trouble free than the MT.

At 80 mph in 7th gear the DCT doesn't annoy me with drone. If I put it in 6th it does, so maybe I would be a bit annoyed with the cruising speed noises of the MT, not sure.

At least in the states MT cars have better resale.

This is the last DCT BMW ever, only ZF torque convert auto and MT for next gen.
