It's a fact that a PROPERLY DESIGNED DCT will offer the best performance and fuel mileage of any transmission available.
I REQUIRE the best drive train, and that will include a dual clutch transmission.
Ferrari, Porsche, and Audi are offering dual clutch on their new models,
because it is the BEST option available.
Let's see if BMW will offer the BEST as well.

I highly doubt BMW will provide the tranny. A few members here who are very aware of the plans (sorry I don't know their screen names off the top of my head), have said a few times that this is the tranny BMW will be pursuing from here on in. Please first drive the car, then start going all of the place saying you NEED the BEST and this is not it.
I agree, this is not EVER going to be a DCT, but it may come damn close, so go drive it first. Besides, this car is not designed to be ULTIMATE performance. It's designed to be a luxury sport sedan, not a performance sedan.
