335i Automatic Gearbox, Blip on Downshift?

Nati0n · 07-15-2014, 11:14 PM

I have a bit of a noob question here, but I was looking around and I couldn't really find anything other than a review from Car and Driver that partly confirmed my question. Does the ZF automatic transmission in the 335i (looking at an 08 E92 335i) blip on downshift? Meaning it rev matches when I downshift with the paddles? Coming from the Mercedes 722.6 5G-Tronic gearbox that will be a welcome upgrade, thanks!

Yes they do.

yep, they do, but get a Alpina flash for the transmission and it will do it more precisely and quicker.

YES!! I am definitely getting this car then - just one more aspect to seal the deal. The only way I could get it on a Mercedes gearbox would be getting a 2007 AMG then sending the TCU to a German shop I know to get Speedshift+ flashed onto it. That's rad, and I will certainly look into that Lemon.
