Thanks guys for bringing this up
After 2000+ miles, I must admit that I have just embraced this car as a whole including the auto box. If I focus on the ZF8AT. Yes there are some 'auto' traits that I am not pleased about, but have to say they are reduced to an 'acceptable' level. To me the main auto traits that bugged me historically:
All in all I have to say I have no regrets going for the ZF8AT .......to the point that if I were offered a manual F30 330D, I would still choose Auto. There are situations where auto is an absolute godsend, and I am loving those moments. Having said that I drove a 1 series manual recently and loved the zipping through the gears again. There is still much satisfaction in manual cog swapping for me. I have come to accept that for a DD ZF8 auto is good, for a 2nd 'fun' car, perhaps manual rules. |

I had an auto out for one day last. Smooth, dream to use. Would not consider a manual
Just wonder how it compares to the Audi S-tronic gearbox? Last edited by zorroone; 01-28-2013 at 11:34 PM.. Reason: additional question |
