Better than the F10 yes but not good. F10 is in my opinion is the worst M-car ever made in road and tyre feel, so thats not a good comparison.
Overall I suspect the M5 vs M3 difference in feel in the F10 vs F80 will remain in the F90 vs G80. However while the transmission feel should be a bit better due to evolution over a few years it will be similar so if that is a deal breaker and you don’t like MT I suspect you are on your last M3.

An X3M owner here with a lot of DCT experience wrote that the mechanical feel of the DCT is not there and that indicates the rubbery feel you talk about.
