ZF vs DCT in new M3/M4

For the more knowledgable out there. I have read some great reviews on the new 8 speed ZF tranny in vehicles in excess of 400 HP and comparable torque. The extra gearing improves fuel estimates and I have seen great comments on shift speeds being almost imperceptible. Wouldn't it be prudent for BMW to use this in the upcoming M vs the 7 speed DCT? Is there an advantage to the DCT? Anyone in the please let me know.
