I just wanted to mention this now that I'm in the M5. The ZF 8-Speed is definitely the best auto transmission to date in the automotive world. However, after having the R8 with the dual-clutch, I can tell you that there is noticeable shift-lag with the ZF (probably no big surprise to you). 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.
