The DCT is real fast. But BMW has done an excellent job when tuning the ZF8 which shifts almost as fast as the DSG in my ex-A4. I honestly do not miss DSG at all. In my Audis, the ZF8 does shift slower than it does in my BMWs. In comfort mode, the Audis with ZF8 feel extremely lazy when shifting and it was significantly slower than the DSG in my A4 in comfort mode. But yes. BMW has mastered mapping the ZF8.
Also, in traffic, the DSG was jerky, especially when downshifting. The ZF in my BMW isn’t bad in traffic.
