Re: M3 DCT Driving Videos

Looks very smooth compared to SMG. Does DCT also have a million settings like SMG??

Re: M3 DCT Driving Videos

Looks great and much better then the SMG - not that brutal, but it looks even faster. But I think, I would decide for the manual one!

Re: M3 DCT Driving Videos

Easy driving and that is maybe the reason why it seems so smooth..

Well it happens that there's MB's new MCT which is according to reviews it shifts as fast as 599GTB and also we have the benchmark which is Scuderia's one,so hardly this is the best in business but one of the best

Re: M3 DCT Driving Videos

Im pretty sure its a bit raw like SMG. The thing is that he doesnt change gears at the redline (becasue the car hasnt been run in yet). Even SMG shifts just as smoothly at those revs if you have settings on cruise mode.
