Every car I've owned was a manual until I got an E92 M3. I looked for at least 9 months for a manual and finally gave in and bought one with DCT. I always drove it in manual mode and it was fine, but... At least 1/yr it had a new leak. After replacing all the seals twice each I gave up. I've always hated automatics, can't stand the fact that when you take your foot off the brake they start to move, DCT didn't do that so my major complaint was gone. We have an old X3 with a manual and were so bummed when the quit making them with a manual.
