The ZF so far is better for a launching, at least in an unmodified car on the street. But one can, and I do, feel a deficiency when compared to DCT on upshift. It’s a trade off, and BMW clearly weighed the pros vs cons and went with the ZF. Maybe a transmission tune could improve the ZF function over what it is at the moment - idk.
I for one can feel a decrease in momentum, a non- linear drop in acceleration on gearshift. There is a momentary pause - a boost drop, a throttle closure, a selection moment, whatever. The end result is what it is and it does not instantly grab the next gear and rocket you forward in a linear fashion like the DCT did in my GTR and my F80.
That being said, The G80/82 is a great platform overall. Even without a DCT.

Yo if you have Mdrive pro and you turn it down significantly it definitely increases shift intensity
