The question of a revised gearbox for the 335D has come up before,but as far as I'm aware there were no revisions/or changes to the gearbox,the 335D was still running the same gearbox (as above) it started out with in 2005 up until production ceased.
BMW have revised the gearbox about 4 times since it's release in 05.
The first change was in March '07 when BMW changed the comms protocol to Canbus .. not sure what other changes were done after that.

Sadly I have had a gearbox go pop on me @around 95k miles ( remapped) I have the box on my garage floor and have not got the funds to get the box inspected to get full diagnosis ( it's a long story)..

A new box from BMW is circa 10k , a refurb'd box from BMW is 5k and an indie will refurbish your box for around 3k

If you have a post 09/2008 build car then you have the latest revision of gearbox ..
