Hmm, as much as I enjoy the DCT in my E92, it seems the 6MT will be the choice on the F8X...
Much heavier (70+lbs) and losing the benefit of the shorter ratios. Anyone know how much heavier (if at all) the DCT is in the F10 compared to the E9X? I wonder if the quicker shifts of the DCT will be enough to offset the extra weight. It will be interesting to see comparative acceleration numbers between DCT and 6MT cars.
