Not on the track, there it is brilliant (or well, at least better than on the road, not quite on the level of PDK), but like I said before, 99% of people (me included) drive this car on the road to work and back and the ocasional joy ride on a weekend. I did enjoy my laps on the Nürburgring, and there the DCT was the best option to go for, but that transmission was such a downgrade for daily driving, that I traded the car in after 6 months. Overall I don't think there will be any long lasting effects, in contrary I even think the G80 will be more successfull with a converter auto than the DCT.
The group of people who care about the DCT is a very, very small minority and I'm pretty sure they are outnumbered by the group who prefers a converter auto and 95% of the people will probably just not care or know any difference.

So basically you bought the wrong car. You sit in traffic 99% of the time then buy a car for that purpose bec M3s shouldn’t be used for that. They should be first for Performance driving but also still serve as commuter car. I’m sure you complain how uncomfortable the suspension is over potholes.
M cars should be for the minority that want ultimate performance. If you want auto buy M340i. This is just watered down M car. Whats next no more widebody lol
I wish BMW would copy Porsche- build a car for the masses (911) but then offer a raw performance version a la GT3/GT3RS.
