#1 How would you know if you did not try it?
#2 How would you know if you have not been near red line?

Have to give it up to the 135 DCT for real.

And thats coming from a tuned 335i with all kinds of toys on it driver. I drove that car and was just awed by it. Very very nice!!! Feels x100 than its ugly looks. Real freak of a car.

so ive been a manual driver since i began driving and love always having something to do...do you think ill get bored with the DCT if i do in fact look to get it? i know its probably a bit faster and all but in terms of long term enjoyment and mpg, what are everyones thoughts?

1M wouldn't be more than 0.1/second infront to 100km...

I'll be nice
