And as unreliable as VWs are known to be, the DSGs are pretty solid.
I mainly started this thread to figure out if the BMW DCT is more Ford or more VW-like.

BMW DCT is more like Porsche PDK (aside from it being hard as balls to launch these things consistently off the line), reliable, durable, and trust me they take a beating on the track. A DCT fluid change every 60-80k miles won't hurt but BMW does rate it as "lifetime".
