Don't think so. The same as SMG II and III were available to non-M cars. Same as LSDs are available as non-M cars. (BS imo )

I don't think that's enough proof for me to give up hope that the DCT trickles down. Don't forget that they stopped offering the SMG on the non-M cars probably because they didn't shift quickly enough and caused many unsuspecting customers to dislike it. If the new DCT shifts smoothly (which it should) and satisfies more customers, why wouldn't they offer it?

They might offer it on Non-M... but maybe with less settings...
