It's funny because F8x was offered with DCT AND 6MT without even a question. The real questions back then were "how much will the car be lighter?" "How high will the turbo inline 6 rev so I don't have to shift before a corner?"

Now we are here bitching about BMW dropping DCT for the generic ZF slushbox. With compression ratio as low as 9.0:1 (which translates to higher boost), this engine and transmission will likely be one of BMW's worst combinations of all time in terms of response. I don't want to fucking drive a lowered X3M.

If BMW M3 no longer offers the exotic experience through dedicated hardware then there is absolutely no reason for normal people who don't track their cars to buy an ugly ass M3.
