If you actually drive the car at the limit you'll miss the DCT. I wasn't bothered by the low speed jerks or how it would roll back, that made it more fun. I drove my M2 at the limit and loved how well the DCT was in manual mode. I can't speak fully to the ZF8 in that regard yet but while smoother it'll never be as fun.

End rant of me saying the same thing several ways

The revs hang/delay need redline with the ZF8 slowly kills me though. Maybe lol get past that
Amen. The Zf is a poser tranny for those that don't actually drive the cars properly. It took 15 min of driving it to realize it's fn shit compared to Dct, especially pushing it, unless you buy an M car to drive around in D mode. So sad that they got rid of it.
