Do you race from every set of lights? Who cares how fast it shifts, when it's just as boring as it was 10-20-30 years ago....And it's not like DCT, it's close but DCT is better, that's why they use it in M cars
Ps. It was Lexus who made fast shifting 8-speed back in 2008 on ISF, back then all BMW owners screamed 8-speed auto is garbage. That was a really special tranny back then, now every grandma and grandpa has some Lexus 8-speed auto or Dodge truck w/ ZF8. 6-speed manual remains special and rare
