Hmm, that isn't exactly giving me a warm fuzzy. A good DCT like the one in the M3 is much faster than the old SMG II box in the M5. If this thing really has a DCT, it should be able to bang out shifts that make the E60's feel like they are coming from a circa 1970s Powerglide transmission.
I like what I hear about the "three shift speeds" though. The crazy Drivelogic setup they use today is overkill and adds needless complexity. It sounds like they are simplifying which is good news.
