MT without hesitation - its going to be the last of its kind and you know you can always buy a DCT/PDK/ etc. in the future - this opportunity is rare!

I read somewhere that the 6MT in the F10 was actually designed for the car vs the afterthought bolt on they did for E60.

I agree with the above- I think you should get the stick shift. Then at some point test drive the DCT and see what you think. You should be able to trade out of the stick shift prettily easily. Good luck with the car.

Jerry,

I did get the manual. My car hit 150 last week and it should move to 151 anytime now since 155 (completion) is scheduled by July 1.
