Let's put it this way....when I test drove the DCT, my friend (girl) who had no idea how to drive my 2014 m6 (or any manual) got behind the wheel of the 2015 DCT we were test driving and rode that monster, flooring it- really enjoying it. She told me I should get the DCT so SHE could drive it too

Got back in my m6, tried driving it again, stall. Stall. Stall.

So...it's an auto. That's faster by .02-3 seconds than the manual.

It's still faster than my manual though, so tomatoes tomahtoes.


I can't believe this thread became a 6MT vs DCT.

First, although DCT shifts faster than manual gearbox, it is still based on Automatic Transmission. The true sequential-manual will have a foot/paddle clutch just like manual gearbox.

Second, although I prefer DCT at a racetrack for faster shifting, I do LOVE driving manual gearbox (6MT).

Hahaahah it's just innocent bantering between c5 and I. He knows I love his auto m6

I may need to watch my words though, because he could easily retaliate by money shifting when we meet up since he's local to me...

Nice.
Kudos to you for driving a V8Turbo unit w/ non-linear powerband. It will take me month and month to master the 6MT on that vehicle.

After driving a 2013 e92 with DCT, I think the dark side has more cookies...

That sounds about right. My 2014 model was MT too, I got wayyyyy too brave too soon with it.

The hardest part is getting used to how deep the "sweet spot" is for power shifting, but the clutch is amazing. Super smooth, but until you get the hang of it- it's longgggg shifts in between. Or it feels like they are. I absolutely looooovvvveeeeddd jumping on the highways in that beast though.

Miss my baby girl, Nicki! (still haven't named my new one)

My family thinks I'm crazy, but it broke my heart to have to let that car go. I'm sure you felt the same way about your M6.

I don't think you're crazy at all! Something about achieving one of your dream cars sticks with most.

People think I'm more crazy now than before, but it's not my fault!

I gave it up because a friend wanted to take over it, and I wanted to do frozen black instead of silver (I lease took over the 2014)

And at the time. The dealer said "oh it'll only be 2, 3 months max before you get it!"

Fuck me. 5 months later, I'm 2 weeks away finally. Had I known what I do now- I wouldn't have gotten rid of it so soon
