However, it doesn't feel like DCT. Someone with an M5 will be able to comment better. My other car is a 140i with ZF but that is unfair comparison, day and night difference.
How do i like it? I am manual driver for life

The auto they put in new M cars are solid. When you're on throttle, upshifts are very crisp. The box fires out the upshifts quite literally (if you have a non-EU spec exhaust) and it will never upshift automatically at redline in manual mode. There's minimal delay in shifting period. Not once have I wished that the gearbox would respond quicker when I'm driving my car. Be wary that launch control shifts are limited to ~100 launches over the entire lifespan of the gearbox.
