Transmission poll

Pauleebe · 07-16-2013, 03:16 PM

MT to MT.

Might be a MT to AT next time around, depending on what the other half prefers, and I would expect the AT to have better performance and efficiency by the LCI or next chassis.

sparkyg · 07-16-2013, 06:02 PM

8AT in my F31.

Going from my 6MT M3 will be a change.

MT to 8AT. Had to take the 8 speed.

onehungevo · 07-20-2013, 01:23 PM

I had an auto 135i and switched to a manual 335i f30. I'm very happy with my decision. Autos are just boring to me.

verbs · 07-20-2013, 01:25 PM

Hmmm... not sure where the SMG from my E60 M5 falls. ..

Auto to first Bimmer/6 spd manual - & absolutely enjoying it! Not to mention how much desi girls love it

Vectors2final · 07-22-2013, 08:00 PM

I drive a manual now, and always have for quite sometime. After breaking my foot many times and recently having surgery on my foot to repair my tendon and remove the bone fragment- I think making the move to auto seems more logical for me unless I drive it and its that terrible.

Henry964 · 07-22-2013, 08:03 PM

At 60 years old, I am now going to have my first Car with auto transmision, I wish To like It, hope so...

johndeere · 07-22-2013, 08:34 PM

Have had manuals all my life. Current is an SMG and the new f30 ordered is auto.

rconti · 07-26-2013, 12:42 PM

Manual to no F31. Don't like the 8AT, I've driven it. Can't get the touring with an MT. No sale.

I found the 8AT very impressive, but my wife and I have always owned manuals and still prefer them. Luckily in Australia you can order the Touring with 6MT, so one 6MT Mineral Grey 328i Touring Sport Line is on the way.

Did you like the ZF in the A4?
I didn't like much in the A4. It felt slower and less responsive, even compared to the 328i.

Do you have the sport ZF in your AH3?
What are you impressions on similarities and differences of the ZF in the A4 and AH3?

If those of us with former MT were to have stuck with MT the numbers for MT would be killing the AT to AT.

Now do a poll with those of use who were MT to AT and what we will choose next time.
Me - AT to MT next time..

xDRAN0x · 08-11-2013, 10:08 PM

Manual. Wounded knee that got operated on 4 times was tired of the WRX clutch, so I decided to change to automatic.
