Speaking about the SMG, that was truly a pile o' shit. It hesitated at low speeds just when you wanted to engage it and get going. In stop and go traffic on a freeway, just as the traffic cleared, and I would step on it, there was a whole lot of nothing happening for maybe half to three quarters of a second (which felt like a lifetime). DCT has given me back instantaneous response, which is what you get from a manny tranny, too, and therefore for me it's a very good compromise. (Turbo lag also seems to be nonexistent in the M4. My recent 650is also both seemed to have very little lag. The M6 cab was a NA V-10, which was really undertorqued, as a NA 5 litre engine is going to give you about 390 lb ft of torque no matter what you do to the timing.)
