It's the reason BMW don't offer the manual trans bolted to the back of the 335d.

the 6MT's rating is down to the clutch rather than internals.. clutch stops being happy at more like 450ft-lb though rather than nm, the transmission has been run past 650ft-lb though, with no signs of wear.
the problem with DCT is the clutches can't really be upgraded easily as they're a lot more complex. soon though.
