DCT came out in Europe already but i'm sure it won't be available for 335i here for couple of years.
E92's aren't getting a face lift next year

I see, cuz I heard if equipped DCT, it can acutally out run M3 easily... 
With some mods of course, but much easier.

Yup, that's why people buy automatic, because their left foot is broken. 
Even though manual is the way to go for sport cars, automatic does have a lot of advantages over the manual.

lol, no man, my feet is fine, just I think DCT shift faster than MT, cause not everyone is a pro.
So, what would the 0-60 time be like with Vish mod, and DCT? 4 sec? 3.5? lol?

Waiting for the E90 to get the DCT then it's order time!
I've been reading reviews from so many happy owners overseas about DCT and it seems to be pretty good

the automatics arent bad at all, i was actually surprised after testing both the 135i and 335i. so u dont really need DCT to out run a M3.

E92's aren't getting a face lift next year | I don't see why not, the E90's got a facelift so why would BMW wait even longer to update the E92?

| even the current auto on the 335i can shift fast as MT... if not faster. The auto on the 335i is very good. Locks up at very low rpm, auto downshifts as you slow down.

E90 had a face lift because it has been around a lot longer than the E92. And it was needed because of the total remake of C and A4. A full over haul for the E90 is expect by 2011-2012

The only problem is the paddle shifts, both left and right acts as the same function so you can basically up/down shift with one hand. press to shift up, press it down to down gear...Very.Very.Retarded!

Yes. DCT paddles alone are about 400-600 dollars + M3 steering wheel is around that price also, you can purchase both online or get raped at stealerships. Or you can spend 1000 on a BMW PERFORMANCE STEERING WHEEL YEE!!!
