I don't understand how people say ZF is a downgrade from DCT. If that were the case why would BMW do that? On the M3 platform no less. An auto is an auto no matter how you slice it. I'm pretty sure BMW can make the ZF just as quick and responsive as the DCT.
It's cheaper that's why they do it. I'm not saying the ZF isn't a good gearbox but it's not a DCT. Driven the best versions of both and it's clear which is superior. ZF is more comfortable and all but the DCT is more precise and aggressive.
