The recent decision by BMW OZ to charge 7.5k for DCT was a dick move and has pushed the retail prices of DCT M2C to ridiculous levels - I wonder if it was a negotiating tactic.

Yeah. RRP for a M2C DCT with paint and sunroof is now above the M3 Pure pricing from a couple of years ago I think.
I'd strongly prefer a manual over DCT, especially for a $7k discount, but the gearing on the 6sp is too short, especially for my commute (80% at 100km/h). Nudging 3000rpm in 6th at freeway speeds?? No deal.
I don't know why BMW didn't go with a 7 speed manual like Porsche and Corvette, especially for the new M3 and M4, if not the M2.
