So many questionable decisions by BMW the last few years 😔

Like seriously not. Tell that to all the GT3 manual buyers lined up…
Or how bout I turn the tables and ask you to get over the DCT silliness, auto is where it's at these days.
Choice is king. |
Torque converter auto is DEF not where it's at. The ZF is a very good auto, but it still has noticeable lag in the shift speed and couple that with turbo lag and the overall experience is less than ideal. BMW copped out with that BS statement about the DCT not being able to handle high HP engines, blah, blah.
Porsche, Lambo, Ferrari, Ford, and all the other exotic and hyper car manufacturers will never put a ZF in place of a dual clutch.
I won't disagree with choice being king, no arguments there. |
Have you even driven a new m3/4 hard? One that's broken in? |
I have an M5C, no need to drive either of those.
