One thing I don't know yet for 100% sure: is this sporting a 6-speed slush-box or the M DCT? If it's running the DCT, it would be at least decent. I understand why it's not using a 6 speed manual though; it wouldn't be able to support 680 nm of torque.

It's a slushbox; No 6MT or DCT option available.
They probably didn't go with the DCT because the DCT BMW has licensed to use can't handle all the torque.
