We only have ourselves to blame for the shift away from DCT's. Automakers are phasing out DCT's because North Americans as a whole complained about the clunky slow speed shifting. Audi is also shifting away from them because of this. Everyone likes to think they buy these cars to track them but the reality is that most don't and a lot of the people using these as daily drivers will appreciate the more refined operation and butter smooth shifts of the ZF8. The DCT and the ZF are both very good automatic transmissions and while personally on a car like an M2 or M3 I may prefer a DCT for the rawness ultra-quick downshifts, the ZF would certainly not be a deal breaker for me as it's a really good automatic transmission.
