After trolling around in their product pages more, I find where they mention the torque converter system. This in fact makes it essentially an automatic transmission, not a auto-manual like the dual-clutch. It's dramatically better than any other auto I've driven before though. Good enough that I'm not sure what I'm really giving up by not having a dual-clutch system.
I will add a disclaimer right here and now though that I'm no expert, I've only driven the 550i once, and a car with a proper dual-clutch system (an Audi S4 with the S-Tronic transmission) twice.
So other than those facts taken directly from the ZF site, I have no idea what I'm talking about :-)
