2) In the real world, why is this bad? Genuinely wondering. DCTs are heavier, bulkier, more difficult to adapt to AWD if it isn't designed for it from the get-go, more likely to drive less smoothly, and less efficient. For 99% of buyers, it's just worse.

3) Perpetuated AWD? They've had AWD on the majority of the lineup for much longer than the last few years.
In short, many enthusiasts prefer the feel and behavior of the DCT. Regarding AWD, I believe he’s referring largely to M passenger cars.

These are interesting discussions, but not ideal for this thread. Let’s use other established threads for that if more discussion or debate is desired. I think we agree that the point stands: many of the changes that enthusiasts seem to take the most opposition to aren’t having a sizable negative impact on BMW sales in the real world.

Regardless of whether we agree with BMW's direction or like or dislike their cars, we all have to acknowledge that BMW is a for-profit business, just like every other car manufacturer out there. They are also a publicly traded company, so they not only have customers to cater to, but they have to keep their stock holders happy.
Yes, very well said.
