Did early ones have a single clutch and later ones have a dual clutch, or do they all have dual clutches?

Did early ones have a single clutch and later ones have a dual clutch, or do they all have dual clutches?
Thought it was the later ones that had the DCT 7 speed option...early ones were just auto with the funny paddles.
Don't forget the later ones are the N55 single turbo aswell

@[Cisk] and @[Paddy] how would you describe the downshifts with the paddles? Are they pretty much instantaneous or is there a bit of a delay?
With the DCT it's instantaneous, gives a blip on downshift too, had a lend of a 2011DCT 335i for a week
a while back...huge amount of fun
Thanks Donal, there wasn't a clear cut answer when I googled. Hmm to hold out or to stop being fussy and just go for it... That is the question!
I never realised that the later model is a single turbo..I wonder why they changed from the twin turbo setup?
Who cares its one less turbo to worry about replacing [emoji1]Quote:

Supposed to be more efficient/reliable. Yea replacing turbos ain't cheap! : /
I wonder is there much lag with the single turbo?
