e92 335 steptronic vs 328 steptronic

abc · 09-18-2006, 07:35 PM

quick question, there's a difference between each respective implementation of it, isn't there?

Ninjaneer · 09-18-2006, 08:02 PM

Steptronic will operate the same on both 328i/335i. The only difference is that you can only get paddle shifters (after adding sports package) on the 335i and not the 328i.

I think there is difference between 325/330(current line-up) steptronics vs 328/335(new line-up) steptronics.

abc · 09-18-2006, 08:33 PM

i guess i was referring or trying to that is, more so if the technology, or the parts that make steptronic in the 335 vs the 328.

did they do something like use the 'old generation' step in the e92/328 while putting a new generation only for the e92 335?

or the auto tranny, 335 vs 328?

I believe they are the same steptronic and it is fantastic. But the paddle shifters add a fun factor that is had to put a price tag on.

I dunno if they are the same, but on the 328 step i drove, the shifts were not only much more responsive but they were amazingly fast when in manual mode. Also, the DS seemed more adaptive to how i was driving and was smooth but also sporty. Very impressive if you ask me

The 335 has the ZF auto built in Germany. It shifts very fast and blips the throttle on downshifts. The 328 will get a GM built tranny. It does not blip the throttle and is slower shifting.

lux.sh · 09-18-2006, 10:53 PM

Downshifts are fast enough with the steptronics on E90s imo.

Question is, how fast do they upshift?
Most people/magazines mention fast downshifts.. but upshift is just as important...

ah so in the 328 and 335 e92, both are not old gen. steptronics and trannys, but bet. the 328 and 335 e92, the tranny is diff (GM vs. ZF).

know where i can read up a bit more on this difference?

oh, i think this month's roundel may touch a bit on it... i'll have to check.
