I've been reading about that, but, for the life of me can't quite figure out if that is good news or bad news. I seem to understand DCT is actually faster and smoother in terms of transitioning from gear to gear...but possibly more complex and hence more prone to issues. Is that right? I would assume that if BMW is moving to that technology, they are confident its going to give a good experience?
What are your thoughts?
