That is more a question of gearing. 1st gear on the DCT is so crazy short that it is impossible to put the power down. Which means throttle modulation is evem more important with DCT. I've ranted about this more than once. It is the result of cost savings on BMW's part by giving us a "hand-me-down" transmission from the M5/6.
What does "crazy short" mean I comparison with 6MT?
