DCT in xDrive?
I'm really interested in a 550xDrive for my next ride, but I have quite a bit of hesitation ordering a slushbox. I've been a dedicated manual driver for almost 20 years now, and drive BMW's in large part becuase they've always offered a stick in any car I've wanted (4 bimmers and counting).
My question to current owners:
How does the sport auto compare to a DCT (please don't guess, I'm interested in direct comparison from people that have driven a DCT)?
I could maybe live with a 550xDrive if the option of a sporty auto existed. I've found all BMW auto tranny's to be completely unacceptable, including the standard auto offered on the 550 (I haven't driven a paddle-shifted sport auto in the 550) or the sport auto offered on the 3 series.
My second question is to see if anyone has heard anything of a DCT coming to the F10?
