  | 7-speed DKG Transmission for 335i Coupe and Convertible  BMW 335i Coupe & Cabriolet Get M3’s 7-Speed Double-Clutch Gearbox Parallel to the market launch of the facelifted 3 Series sedan and touring models, BMW announced the availability of its new 7-speed semi-automatic gearbox with double-clutch for the 335i Coupe and 335i Convertible models. Named DKG, the new double-clutch transmission was introduced for the first time on the M3 Sedan. It offers the driver the choice of controlling the gearbox changes through a shift lever on the centere console or via paddles on the steering wheel. Equipped with this gearbox, the 335i Coupe with the 306Hp twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter straight six completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in 5.4 sec or 0.1 sec faster than the model fitted with the 6-speed manual transmission and 0.3 seconds faster than the 335i Coupe with the previously available 6-speed automatic. -Continued Furthermore, the double-clutch gearbox helps drop consumption in both the 335i Coupe and Cabriolet by up to 5% compared to the equivalent models with 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions. In particular, the 335i Coupe & Convertible models with the DKG achieve an average fuel consumption in the combined EU test cycle of 8.8lt /100km (26.7 mpg) and 9.1lt/100km (25.9 mpg) respectively.

| Re: 7-speed DKG Transmission for 335i Coupe and Convertible Not a surprise at all. However, I wonder whether it will be a "dumbed down"/"not as slick" version of the one in the M3 (like it was with SMG on the E46 3 series).

Instead of several shifting modes "civilian" DCT in 335i will have only 2 modes: normal (more comfortable), and sport (more dynamic). But I have no idea to which M3 shifting mode the ones in 335i will be similar, or even identical. Btw, DCT performs slick shifting per se - that's all the point of DCT.  | |

| Re: 7-speed DKG Transmission for 335i Coupe and Convertible Good. Two modes are more than enough, no need to complicate it with more modes than necessary. |
