BTW, isn't the M8 automatic? And I saw a video of an M8 in a track and I loved what I saw!

If automatics were better - don’t you think Porsche and Ferrari would be using them? DCT will always be faster but auto will be better when sitting in traffic.
Its pure cost cutting by BMW. |
Never said it was better than DCT, what I meant is that it can be efficient as a transmission. If BMW is going the automatic way, is because many people complain about the clunking and sounds the DCT makes when in operation, which triggers this kind of decisions.
DCT may be faster, but many people don't notice it, or never get in position to get this advantage to work.
I love my DCT and I have learned to work around and the S55 attached to it. I'll wait and see what the next M3/4 brings.
