Drove a 6MT for my whole life in all cars before the M5. 2 months in, I am loving it. But it's definitely not the same as manual. But I also am not sure I'd want a manual M5 over this... it just doesn't quite fit the car, but I also never tried it. I still sometimes push an imaginary clutch and end up kicking the floor though.
I do agree, for all-out fast driving the DCT is awesome. For medium-sporty driving, its hard to achieve w/ the DCT, and often feels like the transmission is lagging. I was always able to drive my 335i in a "fast but not crazy fast" manner. That might be harder now because of the huge amount of power though, too.
