How do they compare? To what?
What car has the same engine with DCT and ZF transmission available?
Please stop comparing F80 DCT to a F90 ZF transmission.
I don't want a F90 being jerky as my F82. An F90 is a upper class sport sedan.
The ZF is currently one of the best if not the best Automatic transmission on the market.
When the F90 was in developing the criteria was a totally different from the F8x, so I'm not supriced the transmission is more "soft" as the DCT. The M8C with the same gearbox is sprinting 0-60 in just 2.5 seconds... I mean what do you want more?

The performance difference is negligible as I have pointed out numerous times before. I guess the only reason left is emotion and feeling of the shift (headbump instantly after pressing the pedal instead of delayed etc.). Can't argue with that, the DCT is more engaging. Overall for most of the buyers the ZF8 will be the better choice, but those are not the people compaining in this thread.
(And for gods sake do not reply with "those people that think the ZF8 is better shouldnt get the car." Your opinion doesn't matter for those people, because in fact the car does have the ZF8 lol)
