What is the transmission type used in the BMW M5?

I have been hearing about different transmissions being used in high performance cars like the M5, but I'm not sure what type BMW uses. Can anyone shed some light?

The BMW M5 uses an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

Actually, BMW has been using a dual-clutch transmission in the M5 since 2013.

I recommend going for the dual-clutch option if you want faster shift times and a more engaging driving experience.
