It is not horrible, as you've stated in your earlier post, for sure.

Have you extensively driven E9x 335 auto? If yes, what was horrible about its transmission? or can you post a link to a professional review which states that? Enlighten me.

In my opinion it's not even close, I've test driven a e90 CPO for 15 minutes and the box felt sluggish, searching for gears, slushing up when going WOT, just in general not responsive. I was about to buy it and this experience single handedly soured the purchase and pushed me into the F30. I felt completely the opposite about the ZF8, which I've driven extensively on many different cars for much longer periods. It is far and away the best autobox on the market.

I don't really care if you don't value my opinion because I'm not a professional magazine writer. This is an internet message board, not the international journal of vehicle powertrain review.
