Having had ZF8 in M135i and now M DCT in F80, I will say that if auto mode is your thing, then the ZF has the edge for sure, creep function and also smoother auto shifts.

However, I always drive in paddles, even in town, and the M DCT is much quicker, much more involved (in that it's less smooth more purposeful) and suits spirited driving better.

You DCT haters on here, it's only America that feels so strongly about 6MT, over in Europe I'd estimate that 90% of M3/4 are DCT, we love it. Manual gearbox M cars can sit unsold for months on end.
