yes i mean the DCT is a transmission that normal auto trans ought to be.
it's just brilliant and so efficient.
but then i see DCT provided in only M3
and SMG provided in only M6
i see how SMG is better than DCT and DCT than Steptronic,
but just wondering does it really cost much more to make SMG and DCT than steptronic?
