BMW's reasoning for dropping manual or DCT or anything else is all BS, its all about money and profits.... typical corporate BS watering down the product to save costs and boost profits.

But considering the future with EV's, hopefully hydrogen, and who knows whats next.... some transmission and gears is better than 1 gear lol like my i3.
pretty much.

Theres a reason why Ferrari/McLaren/AMG GT/ Audi R8s/Porsche all use a DCT.

Plus a lot of DCT owners complained about how the m-dct slips the clutch in stop and go traffic and continuously goes back from 1st to 2nd to 1st at slow speeds. The easy fix is to just drive in manual mode, but that's too much to ask for some owners I guess.
