Gearbox Type

Hoping someone can clear up a stupid question

Looking at some E92 335 N55 auto cars and lots coming up with listings stating its a DCT gearbox.

I thought all E92 335i auto where simple steptronic 6 speed autos with normal torque gearbox. Looking at interior pics it comes with same stick as my current F30 335i and thats not a dual clutch

Any clarification woudl be welcomed

I think the EU/UK models could have been equipped with DCTs, could be wrong though. You should just stick with your F30 though

Second purchase along the F30 so not giving up mine yet might 5 years old in October this year but has 27K on clock and very few things where left off the options lists when I ordered it

The US spec was 6 speed auto and I believe the rest of the world got the DCT.

^Yeah pretty sure DCT is an option everywhere else.

If an E92 has the same electronic shifter as your F30, that should be a DCT model. The regular auto has a mechanical shifter.

Yes it is and has been done, but its not cheap. Much cheaper and easier to swap in a manual.
