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 replacingOriginally Posted by 318 iS Cosmos
God help the people who own the tri turbos come replacement time
Supposed to be more efficient/reliable. Yea replacing turbos ain't cheap! : /
I wonder is there much lag with the single turbo?
