I drive an F85 with a similar tranny- it's quite good. Corvette uses similar tech.
DCT is not without faults and no longer appreciably outperforms (if at all, at these power levels) the ZF.
Might not hurt to be a bit more open minded.

Very open minded bud. I have an X3 with a slushbox and E92M3 with DCT and M2 with manual. That's pretty open minded. I know what I like. I also attended the M Power Tour in Canada last week where I drove M2/3/4/6 all DCT and X5M and X6M with slushboxes ofcourse. Yes for their size the SUVs performance was excellent around the track but there was a noticeable difference in transmission response and clearly inferior throttle blips. The M6 DCT was superb so why saddle a beauty like the new M5 with a slushbox. As you can see my opinion is informed not a result of closed mindedness. Thanks though. Oh one other thing, where the fuck is the manual!?
