Have you driven a PDK-S car? As good as AT transmissions have gotten, they still don't compare to the best-in-class dual clutch transmissions.
Yes but you're referencing the best dual clutch - which is found in a Porsche, not a BMW. Everyone bemoaned the M5 ditching the DCT for an 8 spd automatic and so far the reviews have been positive so I think it would be safe to assume the same outcome for the next M3/4.
