Yeah, nice to see that BMW is also going the DSG-way, but I'd definately prefer a manual 6 speed myself.

The feeling of involvement with the car and the joy of nailing a perfectly executed heel&toe downshift just right, is far more important to me than being a few tenths quicker with the flappity-flippers. Also, I don't know exactly what this new Getrag box will be like, but EVO mag said that the DSG box tends to "ride the clutch" way too much, which would lead to wearing it out a lot faster than a normal clutch.
