Isn't it usually the other way around? There was a post about BMW moving away from DCT and toward autoboxes because of tq limitations. It seems odd that they would claim that the 6MT could not handle the extra torque. I wonder what implications this has for those who think this motor will be placed in the new E92 335 LCI...unless they plan on offering DCT with that model as well, which would be even more interesting.
