This is the original quote, from this forum in March:
"In January 2008 BMW introduced a double clutch transmission on their M3 model, manufactured by Getrag and dubbed M DCT (M Dual Clutch Transmission). The same transmission is to be used in the upcoming redesigned Z4 (the Sdrive35i version)[15]. For 2009 models, DCT is an option on the 335i. This is a $1600 option over the manual transmission. The transmission is said to be able to hold 500 NM of torque." That's 368 lb-ft. The quote was from a Wikipedia entry, which has been changed since to delete most of that paragraph. I offer no insights or special knowledge - just repeating what search tools reveal is out there....
