It’s funny you mentioned the Porsche auto-blip. My neighbor was telling me how he was riding with a student in a 991.1 last fall and thought “my god, for a novice this guy can heel-toe like an absolute boss!” Turns out it was the auto-blip, and when he turned it off the guy actually had terrible footwork. It’s probably great for some people, but as you mentioned, typically the kind of person opting for a 6MT instead of DCT in an M2 probably doesn’t need it.
Surely someone has/will figure out how to disable it in the M2 without disabling a bunch of other things.

Definitely DCT is more popular around the world.

.1% manual transmission M2's in China lol
I have to imagine one just slipped in there by accident and someone had to shoo it out of the dealership
DCT is superior but like Rob said I prefer a manual and always will.

That's crappy. They should have allowed some customization through a menu. smh

Supposedly the coding to remove it is to disable the clutch switch. I think this also disables hill assist and requires two presses of the start button to start vs one. I don't think everyone has figured out what else it disables. There is no line that suggests disabling rev match and it being disabled is more of a side effect of other features disabled.
Super bummer! I'm semi-happy that my fiance got the DCT (she got it mainly cause she sits in traffic during her commute) and its a hell of a transmisison.

The clutch switch is overrated anyway.
Anyone who knows how to drive a manual knows that you have to press the clutch in to start the car anyway, so the switch isn't even necessary.

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

I beg to differ. Everyone forgets, especially when there are automatics in the family too. Kristen went up over the curb one time in her 135 when she forgot to push in the clutch and I'm old and forgetful
