"BMW 1 Series Expressively sporty: On the way with the new BMW 1 Series Coupé. This is why here, ZF is supplying the manual transmission as well as the quick shifting automatic 6-speed transmission. The shift system and the converter complete the ZF drive. At the chassis end, you will find components, engine mounts, twin-tube dampers, spring struts, as well as steering columns and steering pumps." ZF Friedrichshafen AG / Press "The standard 6-speed transmission is precise, an optional 6-speed automatic sport transmission from ZF can be ordered." http://www.germancarzone.com/1-serie...rst-drive.html (AMS: BMW 135i First Drive)
None of the BMW literature that I've seen indicates either way, nor have I heard of differences between US vs Euro specs.
