perhaps for nostalgic or other reasons you prefer it, but the vast majority do not. the dct is faster, smoother, more reliable (so far, only 4.5 years old) and more responsive.

anyway, 1 series ftw, most fun you can have for a reasonable price in a BMW
And yet, for all it's speed and and smoothness, DCT is often cited as the weakest part of the car in performance driving.

Yes, great, the vast majority. It's because of their incompetence that the manual is going away, traction control is driving the car for us, and turbos are spoiling proper driver's cars.
