I currently have both F80 M3 and F82 M4 for my wife and I. Both are DCT, so I know what they are like. They are pretty good overall, but isn't as engaging as a manual as always. I will have a couple of manual cars like my new GT4 and Spyder, so won't miss having a manual car. I currently drive a Megane Trophy-R most days around town, and that is also a manual car. The M2 will most likely replace the Renault hence my hesitation. On the one hand DCT is handy around the city, but manual is definitely more fun.
