This article mentions the M5 moving from a DCT to an automatic with a wet-clutch system. Sounds similar to the system used in the new 2018 Mercedes E63S?

I'm guessing the M5 is losing the DCT due to the 100% RWD requirement. Out of curiosity does anyone know what the limitation is on an AWD system with DCT in terms of rear wheel bias?

Porsche stuck with a dual clutch setup for the Panamera's. Are automatics now just as good as dual clutches?
