I feel like BMW is miscalculating here, because people went with mostly with the DCT in the F10 doesn't mean they wanted an automatic, specially since the dct does not behave like a slushbox (no creep).
It is not the HP which is the issue for the DCT, it is the Torque which is the issue.
And it's working well for X5M and X6M so why not?

Who here likes gear jerk in lower gears with DCT? ZF is much smoother....
i do. reminds me its not a 550. and i like the split second gear changes too, something the video of the f90 confirms is slower.
