The DCT tranny has an issue where there's NO POWER at all for about 2 seconds when you step on the gas when going around 15-20MPH. So you have no power when you turn into oncoming traffic at times. This is the second long thread on the issue. The first thread was a bunch of owners bitching about the lag. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=231020

I've read about the DCT Lag, however you should never turn into oncoming traffic

We need to remember a couple differences here; i.e. the 335i's DCT tranny is not the exact same tranny as the M-DCT; it is a somewhat downscaled version of the M-DCT (most likely in the s/w and shifting logic) AND the 335i's F/I tt N54 engine behaves very differently than the M3's N/A engine, especially at lower rpm speeds. I am not too concerned about this issue for the 335i DCT (if/when it becomes available here in the U.S., hopefully beginning with the MY 2010).

I agree. I have a May 2009 expiry... and I'm going to sit tight... and wait.

I turn my attention these days to real profits and losses that are tangible....sold all my RIMM for 58.85 on Fri. I just hope it drops back to 49 so I can buy it back, or, bye-bye forever which as a fanboy saddens me. That was the 2nd time it crossed my exit price since I've owned it from Oct., so I exited with my 34%.... |

My wife's 335's step is damn good and there's no loss of power when going slow and then trying to accelerate.

BMW has already come out to say "there is no market for a DCT in the US" so I'd highly doubt if the 2010s will have it. Perhaps the next generation (in 2012) if their "research" changes between now and then.
I personally think they're wrong, but then again this is an enthusiast board. Most 3er drivers probably wouldn't know the difference, they just know it's more expensive.

2010 335i Sedan
Any changes for DCT for the 335i Sedan? When should we know? When does the car start production? I'm thinking of just jumping into a late 2009 model.

i have been driving with the dct tranny fo 2 months , and i am not that happy with how it works.
I have procede only and run the manual maps , and there are tons of lag when using kickdown at 45-55, it feels like driving a rubberband, the gearbox shifts from 6 or 7th gear lands on 5th or 4th where nothing happens, then go down to 4 th or 3d gear and give you a punch in the back, this takes 1-2 sek . I belive the dct needs some tuning to. |

If all I have to do is write a check for $500.00 to pre order my next leased 335....I would do it in a heart beat! That is CHUMP change. On my first one I put a $1000.00 deposit on them to order it. My second I bought off the lot and my third....which willl be in 2 1/2 years will probably be ordered...unless I can find exactly what I want on the lot and make a better deal. I already told me CA I wanted to talk to him about when I should come into to discuss my replacement when my lease is up. LOL! I am really upset I did not get idrive...so...I am anxious to get it on my next car.
So...yeah good for you...however I would like to see it before I officially ordered it but, still good for you! $500.00 is NOTHING to do a pre order.
