DCT transmission swap
This might sounds crazy and I don't know if it's practical since I haven't even taken delivery of my C63 and don't have first hand experience of how this car shifts yet but I'm curious what is involved in swapping the GT-S DCT in place of the MCT in our cars?

The DCT in the GTS is a trans-axle unit, so that's not possible. The new MCT responds very quickly to paddle shifts, I don't think you'll be looking into DCT swaps after trying it.

I agree with Alex.
I was a little reserved about not having a true DCT but I and extremely satisfied with the MCT
its is extremely dynamic (when in sport or higher).
I drive in s+ everywhere and when I'm just cruising it's very comfortable but even if I lay on the throttle for even a second, to pass or make it is ready and will completely change in to a true S+ fell holding higher revs in lower gears. Then as soon as I go back to cruise it does too.
also you will be very impressed with the shift speed
