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

[Gar]

It's twin scroll apparently..which doesn't help explain it for me though

This helps a bit it looks to be two turbos in one unit http://www.popsci.com/content/two-one-turbocharger

@[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?

Yeah with the standard flappy paddles you do feel a bit of pendulem motion as you downshift and wait for the next gear to catch. Upshfting is better and feels quick enough when you want to get moving. In stop start traffic they can feel clunky so i avoid using them in such situations.

Agreed, up-shifting coming onto a motorway or a good open road it feels good, down-shifting in a hurry I usually floor it and let her kick down but there's still a delay there. It's way better after the full software update though!!

Thanks for the feedback, that worries me a little.. Must test drive one!

It's not worrying really! Chances are you'll be using the auto most of the time unless you're a regular at doing spirited drives!! Day to day the auto is more than sufficient and is a great balance for spirited and normal run of the mill driving. If you drive one that has no software update and then one that has had the update it'll be quite noticeable though as the non-updated box is very clunky between 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

No manuals around no

Hena' teeth! I test drove an auto e92 with the paddles and have to say was impressed with how responsive it was, I would prefer it actually.

Breaking all my rules here, fancy an auto SE and considering non sunroof cars

Eh, I could be wrong but I thought it was only the M's with a DCT.
Never noticed a DCT option in the configurator for a non M.

Besides an auto box, the others could also have a sport auto gearbox which came with paddles.

I'm sure I'll be shot down so I'll put on the parachute now.

:-)

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

Pretty sure the later ones had thw DCT box...if not, I've no idea what i was driving for the week i had that 335i on loan
