That's too bad, I was really hoping for the DCT; I'm not a fan of the AT on the E70 x5m at all.
Are you dealing with Bavaria or Edm?

BMW's regulare 8 speed is a pretty solid transmission with good ratios, at least I find it that way in my wife's 335. With M massaging the transmission and the nature of the engine itself, i really don't think anyone will miss the DCT. The KISS rule is sometimes a wonderful thing.

Hopefully. I guess most of my issues with the E70's AT probably stem from the software side of things rather than the transmission itself. I am just not a fan of how the shift programs are setup for really any of the automatic modes.

Maybe with the extra gear and additional configurability with drivelogic it will stand up to the DCT.
