In fact, if you look at the Monroney stickers for both the 135i automatic and 335i automatic, you can see that the countries of origin for the automatic transmissions are not the same. The 135i’s transmission is made in France. The transmission for the 335i is made in Germany"

I have tried to prove him wrong, but I am getting nowhere with ZF. Although, every other article I have read says it is the same ZF transmission. My belief is that BMW's window sticker is wrong, but I have no proof.
