Would you share more shot your 6mt experience in the M2. The 6MT vs DCT decision has been haunting me for the past week. Planning to order 6MT on the CS, but I've got this gut feeling telling me to go with DCT.
For perspective my last MT turbo car was a 93 miata pushing 300hp at the wheels. Im familiar with running a small motor with a turbo that would be considered too big and laggy. Just requires a different driving style. Mainly keeping in the higher rev range while cruising around 4k+
Is the downfall of the M2 with MT in straight line speed? |
Get the 6MT then get the auto solutions short shift kit at 20% reduction and stock height. Then do the CDV delete (but probably at same time you get the SSK installed) and then install the UCP.
It completely changes the car. It makes the manual mechanical and precise, like nirvana. About as close to a Porsche GT3 manual box as you can get on a BMW (though not quite GT3, it's like 98 to 100).
