VERY smooth and sweet. The change between gears is virtually undetectable. The only thing that disturbed me was the number of different options and settings for the thing!

Just pray it makes it into the 1er because I would change my car in a heartbeat!
Exactly my sentiments...ie: hope it's featured on the 1er soon :smile:

Good to see more appreciation on 'the better' automated manuals coming to market, sounds like it shifts as sweetly as the revised DSG in the latest Audis...I should know about that one soon, as I have a test drive booked in with the new Audi TTS :smile:

This is one item I would really like in my next car, a good automated manual transmission...

And as for V8's for those who've never had em, nothing on Earth sounds better in terms of vehicle engines and with forced induction added to them, you'll never want to switch on your stereo, the sounds of the engine will be enough to keep you drooling all the time
