I think traditional automatic suppliers (ZF for example) saw the light years ago when automatic clutch manual tech was reaching reliability levels approaching mass sale... the last 5 years has seen dramatic improvement in traditional auto tech (200ms shift time for the new ZF 8 speeder for example)... makes me wonder if I'd ever take the risk of the extra tech in an automatic clutch box as a daily driver.
Sydney Harbour Bridge tow truck drivers have mentioned to me in the past that they rank VW DSGs as one of the most unreliable cars they get to tow.
I can't wait to try the new F30 auto box... I just didn't see improvement from the E46 5AT to the E90 6AT but I am expecting to be blown away by the F30 8AT.
