Eventually

wait for the facelift

[Harvey Specter]

The E90's already got a facelift. The E92's are set for a facelift next year.

[fetched]

DCT came out in Europe already but i'm sure it won't be available for 335i here for couple of years.
E92's aren't getting a face lift next year

[Pumbaa]

I see, cuz I heard if equipped DCT, it can acutally out run M3 easily...:D
With some mods of course, but much easier.

You can already 'out run' an M3 with the 335i now with Vishu, you don't NEED the DCT lol

is your left foot broken? why can't you shift your own gears?

[fetched]

Yup, that's why people buy automatic, because their left foot is broken.:rofl:
Even though manual is the way to go for sport cars, automatic does have a lot of advantages over the manual.

DCT != automatic

[Pumbaa]

lol, no man, my feet is fine, just I think DCT shift faster than MT, cause not everyone is a pro.

So, what would the 0-60 time be like with Vish mod, and DCT? 4 sec? 3.5? lol?

I knew this old guy who drove a pretty hardcore modified s/c Civic that was auto (was good for 11s or something). It was a slushbox because his left knee was busted (walked with a cane)

Waiting for the E90 to get the DCT then it's order time! :D

I've been reading reviews from so many happy owners overseas about DCT and it seems to be pretty good

[TOPEC]

the automatics arent bad at all, i was actually surprised after testing both the 135i and 335i. so u dont really need DCT to out run a M3.

I don't see why not, the E90's got a facelift so why would BMW wait even longer to update the E92?

even the current auto on the 335i can shift fast as MT... if not faster. The auto on the 335i is very good. Locks up at very low rpm, auto downshifts as you slow down.

It's not whether you see why or why not, BMW will not be releasing a face lift of E92 next year, that's all i'm saying. E90 had a face lift because it has been around a lot longer than the E92. And it was needed because of the total remake of C and A4. A full over haul for the E90 is expect by 2011-2012

+1, auto for the 335i is faster than the manual. The only problem is the paddle shifts, both left and right acts as the same function so you can basically up/down shift with one hand. press to shift up, press it down to down gear...Very.Very.Retarded!

[Harvey Specter]

I guess we'll wait and see come this Spring.

yes i dont know y they did this, it confused the heck out of me when i was testing driving one. y can't they just stick with left down right up?

[fetched]

I wanted to drive the car into the ditch when the salesman told me that they made it so you can paddle shift with one hand.........

i wonder if any one has been able to swap the M-DCT wheel from M3 to a 335i

[fetched]

Yes. DCT paddles alone are about 400-600 dollars + M3 steering wheel is around that price also, you can purchase both online or get raped at stealerships. Or you can spend 1000 on a BMW PERFORMANCE STEERING WHEEL YEE!!!

0-60, 1/2 mile, g meter,etc.

[CharlieH]

it won't be happening this spring. based on bmw's history with facelifts, the earliest model year would be 2010, which would be in the 3rd or 4th quarter of '09. even if a facelift was planned for spring, there would already be tons of spy pics floating around.

[Harvey Specter]

When do 2010 models go into production?

[fetched]

^
you just don't get it eh? E92 will not be getting a face lift next year, no matter how bad you want it to. 2010 models for this year is hard to tell, because of the halt of production in several plants and probably more to come, it's hard to figure out when they will start selling the 2010s.

The current 6AT 335i's are faster in acceleration then their 6MT counterparts. Reasons they have a lower rearend ratio for faster acceleration, you can brake boost the 6AT's, the 6AT holds boost while shifting, plus they never miss a shift. I had a 6MT now drive a 6AT.
But ultimatley 6MT's are more fun to drive.

[vo_hantu]

whoa that steering wheel is dope
