I owned an F10 M5 for 3.5 years and now the F90 M5 since December. The only thing I've noticed that I prefered about the DCT is it's easier to not hit the rev limiter when shifting myself. But, in auto mode it's much better. Also, I've noticed I shift this car myself much more than my F10. This seems odd, but I think it's more related to the sounds the F90 Competition makes when down shifting more so than that transmissions is more fun to drive.
The gears are very low, which makes it harder to shift manually. But, the car is so much faster in all situations (slow corners, damp roads, etc) and the auto-mode works so well...I don't miss the previous transmission at all. It still shifts hard enough, but isn't as abrupt as the DCT (cuz racecar). That abruptness is fun, but not a plus, IMO.
