Hey Pole,

How does the "act like a DCT tranny, but not really a DCT tranny" in the X6M compared to the DCT in your M5?

I'm considering replacing my M5 with an X6M when my lease is up.

Thanks.

Most definitely yes. Ive seen some guys do it while still on the car. My shop removed the antenna, wrapped it separately and reinstalled

The X is the wifes daily. We only have 700 miles or so. I havent really had the chance to give the truck a proper shakedown but from what I can tell thus far, the tranny acts identical to the DCT in the M5. I will give a proper comparison after the break in service. Need a couple weeks.

Material is 3M and color is gloss black. There are so many different blacks to choose from its confusing. I kept it simple.

Had an M3 DCT, and the best part of the car was the transmission. I especially loved the blip of the throttle to rev-match on downshifts. In my test drive of the X5M, upshifts felt very similar to the DCT, however, there was no throttle blip on downshifts. At least as far as I could tell.

Thanks for the info in the wrap.
