I have to disagree here, as in previous posts, the 6MT has been developed in parallel with the DCT -- also, you have to know that DCT is technically manual shifting though the actual shifting is not done by the operator, the operator merely tells the M5 that he wants to either up or low shift. |
Variety is the spice of life so I respect your opinion but although 6mt may have been co developed with the DCT, it was more for emotional reasons and to appease those who think you can't have a sporty car without a manual clutch. Again, my opinion. When trying to optimize performance and efficiency, I think the DCT is the way to go with the F10 and why it is so for the rest of the world.
Remember I have my approx 650bhp 6mt in my driveway (next to
My F10 soon'ish) so won't be missing anything when I have the need to shift. :-)
