I've always been taught to do the double clutch downshift to save my clutch and brakes. Other people say it makes no difference on modern gearboxes and I can just depress the clutch once to downshift, then let the engine do the braking for me as I enter my right turn. For daily driving is there a need to double clutch downshift to prevent damaging my synchros? I have an 2004 Z4 btw, so not as modern as your cars.

I think you equate double-clutching with rev-matching but they are two different things. To drive smoothly you should almost always rev match especially in lower gears. There is no other way.
