335i DCT first run

335i/335d? · 11-02-2008, 07:27 AM

Hi all

a week ago I picked up my 335i m-sport with DCT. I really enjoy the DCT, the shift are so smooth in D you can hardly feel it. With +/- 70km an hour it already is in 7th gear. I have tried to break in the car, but failed terribly. I have done +/- 600 km now and decided to make a quick movie to show you guys how the dct shifts. I have to say I like to do it in manual mode, the DCT shifts a bit late (+/-7000 revs) in automatic mode, I have the feeling its better to shit arounf 6700 revs. But Its not easy to shift and hold the camera. So I only made a movie of the autmatic sports mode.
the road was pretty wet, DSC was on. You can see it cuts the power in first gear. I also didnt rev the engine first, just step on the pedal.

I am sorry for the weird sound in the movie

Great that you guys liked it! I have driven the auto, manual and the DCT and I really have to say that I am really happy with chosing the DCT. I like it a lot, for easy driving the D mode is perfect! The shift are almost not noticeable!

I think manual mode is maybe even quicker, I like it over the auto function for hard driving.

Will try to make some more movies!

nice thanks

darkphantom · 11-03-2008, 02:40 PM

not that it makes a difference since I've already purchased my car......but why didn't they put it in before?!

5soko · 11-03-2008, 06:09 PM

wow there is no whine out after the shift. one thing i hate about bmw tranny is the whine out almost turbo sound after the shift.(weeeeeeeeeee) i happens in my 328xi, 335i,325i,535i horrible, but the DCT fixes that.

335i/335d? · 11-08-2008, 01:05 PM

Did some runs with my Gtech pro, with DSC off and in Manual mode. Too bad I dont have good roads over here. The road I tested is going a little bit uphill and in a turn, will try do another run tomorrow on a better road on post the files (if I can find the damn cable)
had the following times:
0-20m: 2.380
0-100km/ph: 5.638
0-400m: 13.23 speed 169.7km/ph

The car has done 900km now.

vod74 · 11-08-2008, 07:17 PM

are you changing the gears on this video or is it changing them when it redlines?

**335i** · 11-09-2008, 02:21 AM

i am doing this with my 335i 2008 March built

In the video i put on AT mode, so it changes them at red line

are you getting the same times??? my 60ft times really sucks, but also the road was a bit wet and its running a bit uphill and in a curve
I thought the 1/4 mile time and speed is pretty much the same compared to others.

I did a 5.7 sec to 100 km/h run, but with a full gas tank + girlfriend + 40kg of grosseries, on a better road. probably have to do some practise to get it under 5.4 seconds, this is my first rear wheel drive car. I dont know if the engine will get more powerfull after a few thousands kms. Besides that I have the 19"M-sport wheels, i dont know if these are good for these type runs.

Its known by a lot the guys on this forum, but I thought it will be available end of next year for you guys in the states.

Still waiting to get better weather and dry roads to give it another go.

Another DCT movie, quality is quite good. It is just my drive back home, but you can see the DCT working. Bought a camera mount and was seeing if it worked. Nothing special happens.
