maybe it will be shorter, but that isn't really the point I was making.
you were talking about rev matched downshifts while braking without having to heel - toe, and for the first time, bmw offers this technology with the 6mt in the m3 (despite the fact it debuted in the 370z 5 years ago).
I personally prefer 6mt on the street and DCT on the track. the rev matching feature will tip the scales in the way of the 6mt for me.
yea it will probably be slower in a straight line due to shift speeds, but the in gear acceleration will be very similar and if the 6mt is derived from the unit in the 1M as the literature suggests, it will be one of the best BMW manuals offered in the M3 since the e46
I don't think gearing is nearly as relevant for this car as it was for the peaky e92 m3
