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?
No, I think 7 is more like it because it really doesn't make sense to have more than 7 foward gears in a modern car's automatic transmission.

Re: New BMW 7-series will come with 8-speed transmission

Btw, ZF chief confirmed in a recent interview for AMS ZF has developed a new 8-speed automatic gearbox - reducing fuel consumption up to 6%, and CO2 emissions by more than 10%.

Mind that current 6-speed auto featured in E65 7er is developed by ZF, and it debuted in BMW E65 7er in 2001.

Guess what gearbox F01 7er will feature.

A part of a gear system. Can refer to the number of speeds/gears on a transmission tough not necesarly acurate for all types of transmissions.

But it will be still an automatic were the last 2 gears will be meaningless.
