The dual-clutch in the R8 is lightning fast and feels like a proper F-1 transmission. There's no replacing a proper dual-clutch and BMWs decision to remove the option of it in several of the M-cars will go down as one of the worse decisions ever. I will definitely be going back to a dual-clutch vehicle after my lease is up.
I agree 100%. After two Porsche’s and an RS Audi, I miss the PDK a ton. I will add the ZF is damn fast if you’re 3/4 to full throttle. I’m really impressed with the m suspension.
