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.

Once you get your beast back hit me up, i'd love to go for a ride and see what DCT feels like with the S85. I am actually dropping off my car at Gintani this friday for some preventive maintenance and new clutch and flywheel 
Would also like to check it out in person if possible.
Maybe hold off on the clutch and flywheel, go for the DCT instead.Once you get your beast back hit me up, i'd love to go for a ride and see what DCT feels like with the S85. I am actually dropping off my car at Gintani this friday for some preventive maintenance and new clutch and flywheel
In a way I actually like the SMG more after driving the newer M5 and M6 the DCT in a way is too smooth for my liking I like the feel of the SMG slamming you back through the gears
I like the feel of the SMG slamming you back through the gears I like the feel of the slamming too but that delay in shifting is making me go slower than that DCT.In a way I actually like the SMG more after driving the newer M5 and M6 the DCT in a way is too smooth for my liking

The DCT is just something else. I love how it is on the E9XX M3 and Nissan GTR. Porsche's PDK transmission that is found on a GT3 is double clutch as well and that is why it beats most supercars by just its amazing transmission. There was a video of a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera drag racing a Porsche 911 GT3 (both stock) and the Porsche took the Lamborghini because of its outstanding transmission. Now that is all changed with the new Lamborghini Huracan's DCT transmission. It's the first Lamborghini to run on a DCT transmission and it is truly amazing. SMG feels great no doubt, but honestly speaking the shifts aren't that instant (even with Euro SMG).

I appreciate what you are saying, but there is always someone faster than you. If not today, then definitely tomorrow. :cheers:
Right, but that 65ms time is during a full throttle upshift near redline. Under normal throttle, the SMG feels pretty lethargic compared to DCT even in S6.![Image]()
I'll just leave this here

DCT is great but this ^
M mode on & throttle response aggressive via pedal box - the shifts are quick - granted not as fast as DCT but they're damn sure fast!

Am i reading the shift speeds correctly?
SMG III - 65ms and M-DCT in E92 80ms
SMG III - S6 no lift shifts are actually faster than DCT in E92 M3? Huh? :eek
If so that would explain why our transmission feels like it is about to fall out S6 Full throttle upshifts
I am torn.. I want to go faster but don't want to give up the savagery in the SMG :devil.. i actually enjoy it. I sometimes do full throttle upshifts to scare passengers. Full throttle upshifts that vibrate the chassis is bonkers but then there is a price to pay for all that fun when you have to pay for clutch.
