I guess DCT will be an M-only technology then? I think BMW is making a mistake if that turns out to be true. Autos have come a long way but obviously perfomance cars like M, Nissan GTR, EVO, Ferrari, etc are still benefiting from the clutchless manual setup, with most going dual clutch now or soon.
Personally I think DCT matched to the new turbo V8 would be great. Ditto that for the N54 turbo 6.
