S65 = DCT
S55 = 6MT

Full send on this. And full send on Kaiv.
I disagree. I have two e92 M3s with DCT (one with a 3.62 FD clutch-type LSD), a f82 with DCT and a f22 m240ix with ZF8 AT. The tuning of the f8x DCT is far superior to the e9x M, it feels “perfectly at home” in the f82 with s55, and, although it’s mated to a b58, the f22 ZF8 AT is inferior to a DCT. How can something not “benefits from a DCT”? The f82 GT4 factory-built race car came with a DCT.
