Borg Warner is currently producing Audi's setup, I am sure BMW will do it in house or possibly Aisan or getrag?

The VW DSG is not so nice, have had 3 test drives with it, and it still needs a lot of work

All Magazines here have found it to be slower than a manual aswell


BMW's is either Getrag or ZF
