You are both probably correct. DCT > ZF8


Lets stay focused on the M235i. Do we know for a fact it will be the ZF8 or is there a small, even remote chance it will get a DCT?
I would say no, it will most likely be manual standard then the Sport ZF 8spd w/ paddles as an option

Hope I'm wrong, I would pay a little extra to get the M-DCT
