all of you dct haters
I just drove home after a great 4th of July celebration and I can tell you that paddles are as fun as a manual. My ride home was fun! I love my dct.

Well fellas, not me I was a manual guy till what I thought was the day I die. I got a really good deal on this uno and I am loving this dct more and more every day. I could care less about being stuck in traffic, I also have a motorcycle and that is way more tiresome than a car but ride it when ever I can traffic or not.

Besides I just watched motorweek and the 911 turbo doesn't even come in a manual, times are changing get with it or get left in the dust "literally".

I'm just sayin I walked past this car three times on my way to ordering a 235 and my salesman asked me to just take it for a test drive, I gave in and three months and 3k miles later I don't regret it at all. coming from a 335 manual I never in a million years thought I would drive an automatic.

I don't hate my DCT - I love it! It's way faster than a manual and with PE and PPK it sounds great doing it. With that being said, imho I think the manual is just more fun. Out here in the boonies (hah!) you can drive a manual all day long. "Nuff said". Stan Lee

I'm just messing around but the auto will hold alot more power then the stock 135i dct and shifts are pretty fast with the B3 software.

I can't wait for the CVT option to be available. Much superior to a manual or DCT.

DCT is pretty sweet, and at first I kinda wished I would have went auto, but since my CDV delete, I love my 3rd pedal
