Confused about this post of the new X6M

On the home page of this website I found this post that makes me confused regarding the type of transmission the current X6M (and X5M) have, it says

"the next generation X6 M (F86) and X5 M (F85) will get a DCT transmission for the first time (upgraded from the predecessor's automatic transmission)"

Is it true that our current transmission are automatics?
I still think they are dual-clutch-transmissions......

Any comments?

Nope, just a standard 6-Speed automatic. Perhaps BMW calibrated it but it's definitely not a DCT.

The current gen X6M has a "6-speed M Sports automatic transmission with paddle shifters"

It is the most impressive automatic tranny I've ever driven with, but it is not a DCT. And yeah, I agree, it's remarkable what this automatic can do!

You say that like it's a bad thing. Only thing better than a DCT is the PDK, but GM just released an auto for the Z06 that's supposed to put it to shame. 8 speed is the way to go! Prob even get mid 20s on the hwy.

Feel kinf of dumb here, took me 3 years of owning my X6M to know is not a DCT, probably because is hard to know is not due to the superb behavior, Lol!

I have never taken my X6M through an automatic wash. Always hand wash my baby myself.
