The "i'm jumping ship if its not a dct" posts are my favorite. BMW DCT really isn't that great and the new AT is basically a step up in every regard but people are really fixated on this one particular issue.
I currently have a DCT in my F80. Its great at full tilt, ok overall but pretty shitty when it comes to just day to day driving.
If you are sold on the DCT go drive a new porsche with PDK and you'll realize how our DCTs can still leave a lot to be desired. |
The problem is BMW called it simply "Automatic" when they should have called it Optimized ShiftTronic Autonomous Shifting System ir OSASS for short and charge $3500 for it then people would have been lining up to buy it .
