Got to test drive a DCT LBB M2 today, and left impressed but not convinced.
My comparative observations are with respect to the 1M.
Pros:
- exhaust note - great tone AND from factory! Loved the exhaust crackles on throttle lift
- grip, even in the wet
- aggressive looks
- similar design philosophy to the 1M
- DCT - super quick gear changes
- engine - nice linear power delivery, doesn't feel as boosted as the 1M and the top-end of the rev range still had some pull to it.
Cons:
- bare carbon trim - looks a little tacky
- feels 'bigger' looking over the bonnet. The 1M cockpit seems to 'shrink' around you
- the position of the DCT-paddles needs getting used to during aggressive cornering (coming from a manual only driver for 17 years, this was my biggest issue)
- steering, whilst quite good, just seems more 'artificial' than the 1M rack.
Overall, a great driver's tool...just wouldn't trade the 1M for it.
