Guys the time has officially to come to take my beast to another level. I was experiencing numerous problems with my SMG transmission and I didn't like the jerkiness. I am a huge fan of the E92 M3 DCT transmission because of how instant and quick the shifts are. Not to mention the less problem it causes; the DCT on those are solid reliable transmissions. BMW did a great job with the glorious NA V10 engine but did not perfect the automated transmission. I ordered the E92 M3 DCT transmission and flywheel yesterday and will start shipment next week. The shop who is going to make this amazing build is going to be Gintani. Gintani is well-known for their supercharger and twin-turbo kits they offer for M cars. At there facility, I saw an amazing build project which was a 2010 M6 with a twin-turbo kit pushing easily over 1000+ horsepower also equipped with their DCT transmission to handle perfect with the beast. My whole build is going to take roughly a month to complete and I can't wait till the parts come in! I will update you guys every time I have new updates on this build.

I personally haven't, however I have driven my friend's E92 M3 and the transmission on those are solid and amazing. One of the best DCTs I've driven so far.

My DCT transmission and flywheel should be arriving to the shop in 1-3 days but here are some pictures I had the seller send out to me before shipping it out.

I am very tempted by this. What price have you been quoted for the work?

I got an email notification that there is a thread about a DCT swap, I have to be honest, I ignored it, because the previous one where the russian guy keeps saying that he will get a TT with DCT never updated, and I am actually following this guy on instagram and he keeps saying that it will happen and it's been like that for at least a year now and nothing happens.
I'm not being an a**hole here, but this has been going on and on and we never saw it happening, so it's either Gintani are bragging about something that they never did, or they are being very secretive about it and I don't see any reason why they would be, I'm sure if they did it there would be at least a handful of people on this board that are willing to do it, only if they see it happen.

I know right .... I really want this to work out and happen but I am skeptical and I hope I am wrong and it is unfounded. When I drop engine and increase displacement with a low compression build so I can turn the boost up - this would be the ideal time to swap to a DCT as well - I got 12 to 18 months before this so plenty of time to see if it works out .........
My only thing is if this had been done successfully people would know and many of us would spend the bucks to get it done!
I cant seeing it being that hard to do, just the coding/programming side of things. Thats where the secret is.
I have read in other threads and seen images where the DCT fits and bolts up - but you are right the coding is the key and thats no small thing ....

Five minutes, Turkish.
Does anyone know what trans BMW put in the M5 CSL? Was it an off the shelf M3 DCT as Dinan plans to use?
Honestly, I don't see this happening.

Are they going to show you a working S85+DCT combo when you drop off the car?

I always heard about this but no one has ever posted any good videos... I wonder how this one will go.
