I don't think it's the fact that the dct shifts faster that aggravates me about an getting rid of it..it's the way it feels and reacts.

Driving a regular 8 speed feels "normal"..not special. Even when I drive the camaro ss, sure it's shifting fast but it doesn't clunk, bang the gears, have a mechanical feel/sound to it.

The mdct has always had that roughness to it that kept reminding you that you're not driving a "normal" BMW, that it was special. That's why porsche opts to continue improving and finding ways of bettering the pdk...it makes up the cars character.

I'm disappointed in this decision by M, but I'm not surprised as M has morphed into BMWs puppet. I loved my f80 dct, and I love BMW manual trannys, a lot of people will venture away cuz of these decisions.
