One of the posters on that forum says that ACS actually made a convertible and it's not a factory M3 cabrio.

No idea. I can't find anything on it on the web either. I'm just going from what someone said on the other forum posted. I hate convertibles, a sunroof/moonroof will work for me, or targa.

BMW said they were introducing a dual clutch setup instead of DSG. So maybe that's their DCT.
