I've driven a 545i for a few weeks with the standard automatic and boy was I impressed. Same for the 335i auto.
Super fast shifting and extremely comfortable and smooth.
I've never driven a DCT but I know I wouldn't like it. I'd feel like im playing gran turismo. I want to have a sense of the gears changing. If it's not a manual (the favorite option) an automatic (standard torque converter one) would be my next choice

It seem remarkable that anyone would dismiss the ZF 8sp out of hand without actually trying it because after sampling one I was more than impressed and this is coming from someone with quite a bit of DCT experience.
