Since this zombie thread appears to have emerged...
... having had my 2012 135i with DCT for only a month now I may not be the best judge of normal driving of this car. But I've found I'm most comfortable when I get the car in drive to immediately slap it over to the left, nudge it forward to put it in Manual mode and then hit the start button. From then on, it's a manual transmission car and I drive it like one.
I think I've used D mode maybe half a dozen times but the long, slow lazy shifts annoyed the hell out of me so even if I am driving in auto mode I will at least hit the sport button.
Maybe that's just me, but having owned manual transmission cars for years I am most comfortable shifting it myself.
