Re: BMW To Bring Double-Clutch transmission To 3 Series Next Year - 02-18-2008, 11:23 AM

Great, I've been bitching that 335d is only available as an automatic, which turned me off it as a potential car. If I can't have it in manual, DCT is the next best thing

Hmm... are you sure about this, EnI? I remember reading that quattro torque vectoring would be introduced with the next S4, therefore it shouldn't be exclusive to RS models. I'd prefer it if they offered it on A cars as well, but S would have to be the bare minimum. Also, I'm not sure QTV is applied only to the rear wheels ala BMW DPC... seems to me it could also be applied to the front axle and therefore benefit FWD Audis as well
