ask the guys on m3post. they will prolly tell yo which is better for a daily. or just for the weekends if the stang is running haha

dct is prolly quicker with a car with that much power but i drove the stick before and it was a blast.

fizzle · 11-05-2009, 09:38 AM

DCT is unbelievable, and yes you can put it in full auto mode

Dmitriy@AUTOcouture · 11-05-2009, 09:48 AM

DCT FTW!

Yo really hoping your handwriting doesn't match the way you type, they won't let you sign the lease.

i'm getting my M3 with DCT hellll yeah

Choose what YOU'd prefer. It doesn't matter if one or the other is .02 seconds faster or w/e, you don't even notice that. You either like shifting gears or you don't, I know that paddle shifting just isn't enjoyable for me. Besides, getting stick keeps 99% of the people you know from asking you if they can drive your car.

Alex@AKMotorwerk · 11-05-2009, 11:12 AM

MANUAL!!!!
So much more fun, although i hear the DCT isn't so bad, but i prefer the 3rd pedal

Danny 330i · 11-05-2009, 11:17 AM

3 pedals is the way to go! you drive the car, dont let the car drive you!

i own an e90 · 11-05-2009, 11:18 AM

i have a e90 in stick w/ DCT ...its sick dude...manual car is always better ...but, the only thing that's annoying is when your stuck in stop and go traffic ....gluck homie....can't wait to see that lip kit and asc wing next friday..ehehe

gtrokin330 · 11-05-2009, 11:52 AM

i drove sajjad's m-dct e92 and that shit was so damn nice. a little confusing at first but you'll get it fast. I drive 6mt daily and everywhere from manhattan to suffolk and love it...i never complain. Personally, when i get my e9x m3 it doesnt matter what tranny cause i like em both but that dct is def tempting.

RevC · 11-05-2009, 12:05 PM

i've ALWAYS liked my cars with three pedals so..like to be as connected to the car as possible, not a fan of all this computer aided, self-shifting, rev-matching...flappy paddle..

JBiddy · 11-05-2009, 12:10 PM

i say stick! but the m-dct makes the car EASY to drive

RevC · 11-05-2009, 12:11 PM

bottom line..go stick..if you didnt have it on this car, do it on the m, the 6spd is phenomenal
ever since the e46 m, i have been against the smg..way too notchy around town and ESP in traffic..and you can forget about parking..that must of been the biggest pain.
