That's the truth. Besides, the proof is in how it drives. This is an enthusiast forum. As such, it is very different from the overall population of BMW buyers.
I still think the DCT vs 8 speed auto choice is related to pumping losses in the wet clutch. A true manual was probably not on the menu from the start.
