Mercedes has the AMG GTS and Audi has the R8. Both of which use DCTs. BMW has nothing on that level. Same with porsche, ferrari, mclaren.. all DCT and no automatics.

bmw's autos are quick at upshifting and very smooth around town. BMW realized most of their buyers leave their DCT cars in automatic mode 99% of the time and want a better daily, rather than a more responsive transmission.

There are plenty of threads on the M5 forums saying the new transmission is not as responsive, especially when asking for a downshift. Same with the supra.
