Smile M4 Manual or Dual Clutch Transmission DCT? Video compare

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Maybe the hardest choice when ordering these cars is which transmission to get.

Here is a compare video I did this weekend.

Hope you enjoy.

Thanks

Nick

Nick, good review as always and sorry about your 991S which was a beautiful car. How do you like the M4 vs. 991S? M4 I too got the DCT hands down its faster, and I can drink coffee and drive which is really important!

Cheers

I didn't know manual transmission have rev match! That's awesome! I went from a 6speed e92 M3 to a DCT M4. I really miss having a 6speed.

I don't care what anyone says about how glorious DCTs are..if I get into any car and there isn't a pedal on the far left that I need to depress before starting the engine I'm not happy for two reasons:

1. It's not a manual transmission
2. I probably hurt my ankle or foot thinking there was a clutch pedal

LOL. I have no intentions ever in my life to own anything that costs more than my current car which is a 2015 F80 lol. So no. Ferraris and Lamborghinis are just nice to ogle at.

Wish we had the ability to turn on/off rev matching in any of the eng settings. I drive mainly in sport+ all most exclusively and rev matching in that mode would be nice as well. Heel/toe is fine but not always fool proof for me.

Great video! MT for the passion of the drive!
