You’ll have to play with the settings a bit to get it exactly as you want it. I found around town you’re honestly just best leaving it on the middle setting for shift “roughness” and keeping the RPM’s fairly low. But with everything set to “harsh” and the traction off on the track it absolutely blows SMGII out of the water. Still haven’t tried DCT yet, but I hear it’s incredible. ---

Dct is nice, a bit too smooth almost feels like a true automatic trans with shift buttons, a bit snappier then the last Audi dsg I drove in a 08 tt ---

bimmer magazine has been blowing the dct, I’m anxious to try it out. living with a bmw master tech lately has intrigued me about a lot of new bimmers. it’s different living in an area that actually has money that’s for sure nice pick up bryan. saw it on fb like 2 seconds before I opened this thread. congrats I still remember walking out of the regal from seeing the midnight showing of something, don’t remember what. saw a white e60 m5, drooling over it, then seeing chris drury walk up to it with a cutie on his arm ---

Great car, is it a CPO deal? Probably had to be close to 100k sticker if it was optioned out. Enjoy it. My dad almost picked one up due to the too good to be true price. Anyone who thinks domestics residuals sucks, should watch a high end European take the plunge. Used is the only way to go. ---

Used is the only way to go. It is funny you say that, I came back to the thread to post this: I love how people always sack-ride domestics for shitty resale value, yet this was picked up for 1/3 of its MSRP. ---
