I don't buy into the whole excuse of too much HP for a dual clutch, specially when Porsche sell the Panamera Wagon with 550HP or the Macan with a 4500lbs towing rating

The ZF 8 speed is a low cost solution, and they went for it. Are we surprised it can be 2wd on demand ? It's like that in every pickup with the ZF8HP

I feel like BMW is miscalculating here, because people went with mostly with the DCT in the F10 doesn't mean they wanted an automatic, specially since the dct does not behave like a slushbox (no creep).
