7speed getrag DCT transmission swap.

Side question: Did you go ahead and replace all the stock seals with the Viton seals and new screws on the pan?
The speculation is the heat from the exhaust and dissimilar materials between pan/transmission/screws + cheap seal material is why they all end up leaking at some point. Not just the pan and the mechatronics seal, the one further up on the box as well.

had to make a new downpipe and first half of the exhaust to get it past the DCT gearbox. Its a tight fit, even with the modified floorpan, but it fits.
Heat protetction will be added.
Still have to find a way to route the transmission oil cooler lines and install the thermostat.
not much room for activities!
Made the downpipe a 2 piece design. with a short elbow on the turbo to make it possible to take it out of the car without having to pull the entire drivetrain out in one big package.

Håvard here has his transmission retrofitted with new internal mechatronics to openly communicate with his standalone he is using.
The maxxECU folks have cracked the communication to the factory BMW TCM and spoofed it to work with their ECU in any application. I'll be doing one In my TTv8 Volvo.

maxxECU does not work with the M4 transmission for now, maybe at a later point is what i got from the maxxECU guys when discussing my project with them,
But its really cool that the ECU manufacturers start supporting crazy mods like DCT transmissions in older cars

It does
I agree with you, this opens up so many possibilities. Very exciting.

335/135 boxes, and e92 V8 boxes use different protocols, and also different control from the shifter etc. the messages i got from maxxecu was that this would be tested next winter.
Also, the maxxecu will run the BMW TCU firmware in the gearbox, while this setup just removes it completly and runs all sensors and solenoids directly from a standalone controller.
It also gives the possibility of a "drive by wire " clutch pedal. and tunable shift times/pressures more easily.
here is a video of one of the guys already running the setup im using, in a RX8 with a honda engine.
