You know, the searching is not so much the fact of it's being an automatic, and I think it is a conventional auto if I remember correctly, but because it has all of 8 gears! It always seems to want to shift and the engine tone which is nice is changing so much, it sounds like part of an orchestral piece. The step in my 135i seems to be always in the right gear for the situation in both regular D and sport auto DS mode. The DCT should be even better.
