As much 'fun' as driving a manual can be, the DCT is awe inspiring. Something to be said about the instantaneous change of gears at the flick of a finger. My first experience with one was in the M5 on the track and I was sold before even getting in the M3.
For me a manual is fun, but for every day driving and raw performance, I'd opt for the DCT every time.

Yeah....because not every M owner can drive a manual (...
or drive one good). DCT was the safe bet for the performance school(s) so that nobody would leave feeling like they didn't enjoy themselves. That was MY impression when I attended a few years ago and when I went to VIR.
