2008 dct m3, 60k miles??

[Ashbc]

Thinking of buying a 2008 e93 m3 dct, what sort of issues should I expect with the DCT BOX, cars done about 60k miles, serviced quite regular.. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks guys

Lots of reading to be found on this mate but in short the DCT is proven to hold up extremely well. There is an irritating and common fluid leak which is worth to check prior purschase as it cost to change sealing but other then that bullet proof.

Plenty of high-mileage DCTs running around, as Helmsman said. I wouldn't worry about it if the car has been serviced according to BMW's requirements. If in doubt, have a dealer pull the service records and see what's been done and if the owner has had a lot of repairs.

I have a DCT and love it - no issues at all. I would recommend two things though:

1. Get the DCT flash to smooth out the shifts.
2. Try to go for a 2009 model with the updated and much easier to use idrive.

Just viewed the car I was going to buy, it came up with a P malfunction error, what does that mean???

Our DCT is really strong and reliable , like others said above some have small oil leaks but is easy to fix .(DCT repaire kit with new DCT oil pan ,filters, bolts , Pentosin and new sealings)
From my experience is our DCT way more reliable than our S65 bearings .
