Investment grade? I don't know about that.

*WHO SELLS AN E34 M5 WITH 14K ON IT TO CARMAX??? SERIOUSLY??*
The M5 seller posted this : "The original owner supposedly had his chauffeur drive the car to Carmax to have it evaluated. I’m not kidding. Apparently he is extremely wealthy and didn’t know the true value of this car. A Carmax salesmen then bought the car and sold it to me. I relayed this story to BaT but I now see that it was misunderstood as me buying it directly from Carmax. I will have it corrected."Quote:

IMO it comes down to personal preference. There are huge advocates for both transmissions on the M3 forums.Quote:

You can certainly drive the DCT quicker IMO. I have the Dinan engine software and DCT tune (so does Joop now!) and it's even better than stock, but even stock it just blasts through the gears. DCT drives a lot like a manual, just doesn't have the 3rd pedal. There is no Park gear, put it in neutral like a manual and pull the e-brake. When you put it in gear (drive or reverse) you gotta give it some gas, it won't start rolling like a true automatic. On a hill, it will roll backwards just like a manual. I wouldn't trade my DCT for a manual, but that's just me.
As always, drive both and decide which one you like better :thumbsup
