I do think that the F8X is engineered as DCT focused platform and doesn't necessarily have the features that seemingly make a manual E30, 36, and 46 so highly prized - NA high revving motor, lightweight & nimble chasis, short wheelbase, awful SMG alternative (E46 specific), etc. So i'm interested to see how much higher value holds for 6MT over time with the F8X platform specifically.
None of this is an opinion of 6MT vs DCT btw... not trying to derail the thread with that BS.

Spun Crank Hub happens way more often for DCT though - it often only happens for 6MT due to over-rev/lack of manual skills.
SCH is not great for the reputation of the platform - it will be the "water pump" of the car.
