Not always. I mean BMW didn’t design their DCT, (Getrag designed and made it) whereas while Porsche’s PDK came out a year later but they co-designed it with ZF and it was far better than BMW’s DCT at the time.
I’d argue Porsches PDK is still the best DCT out of thr box in the market.
Its atleast the only one that does not get confused by roundabouts. Even Audis (which surely bases their sporty software on the PDK) is confused, leaves you without power for 2 seconds only to fucking SLAMDUNK second gear probably losing a teeth on the gear every time.
The latest DSG is the Golf R technically shifts a little faster than the PDK but from having owned an MK7.5, it’s extremely moronic out of the box and it’s improved drastically with a decent aftermarket TCU tune both for daily driving and pushing the car. I don’t know why the factory calibration is so incredibly shit, it’s purely a software issue. Probably to save a couple mpgs or some stupid shit like that.
