Quickness is one thing, but sense of connection is another. I'm afraid the new torque converters are not as rev happy as the DCT counterpart shown due to its mechanical max rpm limitation and much heavier rotating mass. I'd like to refrain from commenting on how it drives but based on my experience on the same tranny as F90 M5, shifts will most likely feel very numb especially on downshifts.
