I can not believe how amazing that DCT trans is - shifts feel like those from a video game, snapping off in an unbelievably short amount of time, with barely any drama at all.

If you haven't experienced the M-DCT, do yourself a favor, find one to drive. I'm having trouble coming up with superlatives sufficient to describe it.

I can barely wait to call one my own!
If you want to take a broken-in F10 M5 out for a drive and rev past 4,500 RPM..let me know....
