PDK certainly is better if you're after lap times, but their manual experience is second to none especially on the GT cars.
If you are going to criticize the manual relative to Porsche and not do the same for ZF8 v PDK, you’re fooling yourself. Some of us don’t want a Porsche and are fine with the 6MT in the BMW. I’ve enjoyed it since the e39 M5 and e46 M3. No complaints here
