Argue all you want about the benefits of the dct, there are still some of us that love the manual transmission and swear by it in every car they purchase. I have no doubt that the dct can shift faster and better than me as well as knock off a few tenths of a second in a 1/4 mile run, but it'll never allow for me to "learn" the cars traits as well as a manual can. The satisfaction of rowing through gears and hitting those perfectly rev matched shifts by your own skill is something only a true manual can give. Much respect to BMW for keeping this option alive.

It's like microwaving and regular cooking on a stove. Sure microwaving is faster but I just like cooking the old fashioned way because it tastes better

I also found interesting that VW chose to release its new Golf R only in Manual in the US, while the previous R32 was DSG only... DCT, PDK, DSG etc are fantastic and there is no doubt in my mind that they outperform manuals (and there drivers) in term of performance but I still think a lot of drivers (I am one of them) want to be more mechanically involved with their cars.

Not Automatic
DCT is not automatic. It's still manual, an AUTOMATED manual transmission. Do some research, "pure" BMW driver!
