The gearbox is still in testing. General development is done, now BMW engineers are tweaking the gearbox to fit BMW driving dynamics. I will come sooner than you think.

335si will definitely get it. Latest info is the car will debut after M3, not before it. Also due longer-than-planned DCT tests.

And yes, F01/02 7er will debut a new automatic transmission. But will it really have 8 gears? Khmmmm Do you realy think 8 is a right number?
