BMW has turned shifting gears into pure subjective entertainment value. I'd rather take the performance edge of DCT over the subjective entertainment value of the manual transmission.

Hmmm...so I'm just perceiving that I actually have direct control of shifting the lever and engaging/disengaging the clutch while driving a manual?
I didn't realize that I was just perceiving it. I thought I was actually performing the gear changes.
So then, does the DCT give you an enhanced perception of direct control over your shifts? Moving a switch up/down, or tapping a lever, asking the computer to do the gear change is more real and more directly in control of the shifting process?
Yes, a manual trans does give "entertainment value".
I agree that indeed the "manual" cars are very entertaining and FUN.
