    Lightbulb E92 335i - do they have a dual clutch transmission?

    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?

    I wonder is there much lag with the single turbo?
