Loved my DCT m3 and m5 and no other company except BMW even offers a DCT gearbox for their performance sedans except Porsche. AMG only offers DCT in their AMG GT, and Audi has it for the RS5 and R8. Ferrari, Lamborghini and Mclaren don't offer manuals, yet BMW is somehow at fault lol. The f10 wasn't even supposed to have a manual but NA showed enough demand to make it economically feasible.
I'm also curious as to why the new m5 is an f90 and not a g30. Perhaps since they are improving upon the same engine they might follow the Mercedes approach and use a new engine half way through the life span for an LCI update? Seems logical, especially since this is the first time they've decided to use the same engine for a new generation.
