The way I've phrased it may have been extreme. Main point though still stands.
ZFat may be smoother but is NOT consistently faster than DCT because if it was, BMW would have advertised the hole out of it
No reason to go for ZFat over an already winning formula other than cost related to AWD. I would hate to see 1800kg M3; it is already heavy as is.
Furthermore, when I buy an M or any car I first look for the capability of invoking a sensory drama by the driver, not by the car. This is the reason I greatly value elements related to the connection.
While DCT is not as engaging as the MT it compensates by shift speed and distinct feel, close in philosophy to the clutch driven, sequential transmission used in race cars. It's a great alternative to those who miss the mechanical feel.
