Just wanted to add my $.02
After driving the X5M and seeing how the 8spd reposnds compared to the DCT in my M3, I am glad to see the car will have the DCT.
I agree all that is needed are 3 drivelogic settings - Hard to feel the difference between each of them in D and S mode
The x5 with this motor sucks gas worse then my M3, granted the truck is heavier, and the M5 will have alot more hp/tq. The gas tank in the X5 is approx 22.5 gal, so I am not surprised the car needs a bigger tank for range.
