Man the f80/f82 has been my dream car for years since i was younger. Initially i was always thinking of getting one with the DCT all the way. To me, it seems to suit the car more, and would be an awesome daily. This video was definitely helpful! Will definitely get one in the future 🤞.

Which do u prefer more? Wanna get a 6spd f80 for my next car but the dct shifts so fast idk if its worth compromising the driver feel/experience over a faster shifting car? What ur r thoughts brother maybe i just gotta test drive both n see what i like better tbh

[@chacebarnes01]

I hate how good DCT was because it makes me miss it and wish I had it back at times 😂 for me the best way to make the decision was what matters to you and what's the purpose of the car. I plan on keeping mine as a forever car so I 100% wanted/want a manual car. DCT was amazing, fast, and comfortable VS Manual is more fun, connected, and to me seems like a whole different car & experience. What bothers me most is Manual gearing is too short for the freeway (80mph is 3K rpm) so I end up driving much slower where DCT I could cruise at 100 and be around 2500-3K, Manual face-plants when shifting when doing a pull, even with high torque and at low rpm the car is pretty slow off the line when just driving normally. With all the negative differences I absolutely love the Manual F80 and 100% want to keep it forever, it's extremely fun to drive, the car feels insanely fast for being stock, and it's much more special/rare of a car. DCT was amazing I can only hope of owning a CS one day and having both 😂 hope this helps!

@@chacebarnes01amazing response thank you brother most likely will go with the 6mt as well just for the same reasons you did living my dreams thru ur vids lol hopefully i can afford one pretty soon. Are you able to change the gearing? Keep up the content brother 💪🏼

What did you do with your red interior is it for sell?

[@chacebarnes01]

I swapped it into my black DCT F80, I trade that for the E92 M3 and some cash

[@Bmwstephen]

I was going to sell my e36 m3 manual after trying an f8x manual. Then I went DCT and kept the e36 manual best of both worlds. This manual was a big let down coming from the e36. 1-2 shifts like crap no matter what

Manual all the way for me...
