335 transmission

do you guys think it's the first generation SMG?
it feels like the one they had on z4.
i just test drove one tonight,
it shifts so fast,
i'd say it's much much better than my 330 steptronic.

its suuuper smooth and yes it does shift very fast. No jarring shifts like with the M3 though....which is kinda nice. If they had one on the lot that day I definitely would have gotten the auto w/ paddles for sure. But the manual is very nice.

The automatic tranny in the 335i is nothing like an SMG transmission, in a technical sense. Yes it can be told to shift with buttons, but the actual transmission is completely different and it uses a torque converter instead of a clutch like the SMG does. Not a bad thing though, just different.

The auto works great with the turbos...many step 335i owners seem to be getting ~4.85s 0-60...powertrain loss? Who cares! Makes me really jealous.
