not until the the next generation. The DCT is not able to handle the m5/m6 yet but you will see a recised version in the new m5/6. I am just hoping to GOD that they still offer a 6 speed manual as a choice.

Now it can if you've had a software update. When the M5 orignally came out you could not turn the DSC completely off with a 6mt. This is one of the major complaints about the car, and one of the reasons people feel BMW really dropped the ball when they implemented the 6mt.

hahahah I drove that dct and im pretty much sold. I mean the 6mt felt amazing other then the tall shifter and non ssk it felt great. But the dct I didn't expect to like but once I drove it WoW is all I have left to say lol. Im left in awe because the SMG did not do that to me but the M DCT is just great. And its sad the m5 nd 6 won't be seeing it.
