Still have some MT's so will leave the fun vs performance out as am AT just does not compare well. Also had a 335is 7DCT. Was also a fun trans with quick bang shifts on a solid base of a fully geared transmission inside the case.
Last 3 BMW's have been 8ZF & think as a pure transmission its superior to the MT/DCT. Its quicker when you punch it & smoother when in comfort.
8th gear locked out in performance settings gives out standing mileage 31mpg@80mph average door to door on long road trips when available in Comfort. Still hits hard & fast dropping a number of gears when you need to pass at 80+.
