No, no real interest in the M5 - and I acknowledge it could be better than the other ZF boxes I have driven, but none have approached either the PDK I had in my 981 or the DCT I have in the F80.

The shifts are just slower and less immediate, which removes the involvement and experience factor in my opinion - again, in my experience, which doesn't include the new M5.
I agree. It takes away from the fun and engagement of a MT. I'm a MT person at heart. As life would have it my MT days are over (for daily driving).

I have a MT M2, and a F90 now. I had an F82 MT & F82 DCT prior.

All I can say is (personally) the ZF in my M5 is 95% as fast as my past DCT, and 126.5% smoother.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
