if you want to debate milliseconds then yes it is quicker. also costs a bit more too

miliseconds, aint it more than that.

It does and as discussed before adds a huge 'fun factor' into the driving experience. Most of us have only experieced gear changes like this in Arcade style games - to have one fitted to your own car is a huge plus point IMO.

I have driven the M5 with the DCT and it was AWESOME!!

INSTANT gearchanges in sport mode and the downshift throttle blips were excellent

A gearbox like this really suits cars such as the M3

0.2 secs in all formats (E90, 92 or 93) - helps claw back that 0.5sec deficit the 'vert M3 has though!

M5 is SMG mate.

If its anyhing like that I will love it.

If its as smooth as they say i dont think i will like DCT.

Yes of course, my mistake!

You can alter the 'sportiness' of the DCT's changes

dxb335d · 02-17-2009, 05:53 PM

Yeah?

But does it slam you like a sumo wrestler though?

DonM3 · 02-17-2009, 06:02 PM

no, even in s6

you do get a little, but noticeable kick

Thing is Carl, whilst that is fun every now and again, it would get tiring for everyday driving, so I am kinda hoping the DCT won't be like that!
