Think this, plus the shift gate pattern is also not the same as all the other new models with a ZF 8, bodes well for the arguments of it maintaining a DCT IMO.
The ZF8 for the G80 will likely have similar features as in the M5 which include up and down arrow buttons to select between 3 different shift speeds.
