I feel like 8 gears is too many, too. Although, I read a review of the DCT M3 that mentioned the author was cruising in 7th gear at 65 mph and was at... I don't know, maybe 3.5K RPM? Whatever it was, it seemed awfully high in the RPMs, even for an 8400 RPM car. Maybe an 8th gear would be worthwhile for saving gas on long highway trips.
