all of you dct haters

brocklanders · 07-05-2014, 06:51 AM

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.

e36addict · 07-05-2014, 08:09 AM

This is going to be bad.. Definitely not as fun as a manual, but it sure is nice for DD and sitting in traffic all the time

And dat sound....

I just drove home using my manual and its better then a DCT. Love my 6MT!

TJ710 · 07-05-2014, 09:01 AM

I have a DCT but would still trade it for a 6MT. I think...

Good for you.

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".

nonsense. it's all about personal preference.....nobody is getting left anywhere as long as they enjoy themselves....I will say that I would have never got a 1M if it was DCT.

brocklanders · 07-05-2014, 10:16 AM

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.

Last night I smoked a Camaro he had more power then me but if you don't hit the right gear, well see you later! I don't have to worry about hitting the right gear anymore.

It was cool to see a BMW on the show but I can't see myself watching these girls again. It was a little painful.

Hahaha...These times they are a changing. I believe the dark haired women on that show is a certified BMW Tech.

And as for the DCT, if your happy that's all that matters.

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.

Overpar56 · 07-05-2014, 08:28 PM

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

Esteban · 07-05-2014, 08:49 PM

Helltime · 07-05-2014, 10:24 PM

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
