BTW I am not suggesting one over the other they both have good points & no so good points. Have both & the DCT is quicker but the 6MT can still be a lot of fun to drive.

And last but not least, you can watch this and see the DCT in action :-)

I have been pondering the idea of a 135is before the production ends at the end of the year and this is the only option i cannot decide on. In terms of which transmission will work/last longer what is your opinion? I want to get the car as my DD for now then a few years down the road turn it into a track only car.
-Will a DCT transmission last as long as a manual, reliability wise? -Are there any major issues/servicings to the transmission? -If i plan to keep the car for a long time span (10+yrs) what would you recommend? I'm not sure if these are dumb questions, just wondering. |

I'd be surprised if anyone who claims to love manuals would end up satisfied by a DCT.
The DCT shift speed is terrific and the car is fun to drive, but on a car like this I don't think there's any way a DCT can compare to a manual when it's just a question of spirited driving. I have a DCT and don't regret it, but it's mostly a practicality thing of not having to drive a stick in city traffic all the time.

It seems like the op loves the manual so they should probably go with another 6MT. Like the poster above I went with the DCT and I don't regret it. It's a very good auto transmission. I had manuals for most of my life and I enjoy the ease of an auto now for a daily driver. |

F1 uses SMG if I'm not mistaken. Pretty sure that dual clutch would violate current FIA rules. Although there's no question that the dual clutch in the civilian world is a derivation of F1 style shifting.
