I doubt that the manual would be left "in the dust". I'm sure the DCT would win the accel test, but it would be much closer than that.

Obviously I was exaggerating. I came from a 335i coupe 6MT so I can at least directly compare the two. The DCT -IS- faster off the line. I'm sure of it ... at least comparing my two vehicles, in my hands (and left foot). And I've driven nothing but a manual for the past ten years so I think my skill level is above average. No, it won't leave the manual in the dust but it will leave it at least in the side view mirror. Sure the manual is fun to drive. I still find my hand resting on the "auto" stick, and my left foot does twitch now and again. But I wanted the fastest BMW that my money could buy ... and I'm sure that I got it.
