I agree the steptronic shifts pretty well in DS and M mode. Its a bit of a dud in normal 'D' mode imho. When you're in DS or M mode to downshift at lower speeds, you can almost feel a slight blipping of the throttle <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> As good as the GM box is, the ZF in the 335i is even faster/responsive <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />  The E90 is one car that feels better at higher speeds. It doesn't seem happy in low speeds and traffic crawls. I mean it does it well but I sense its happier at highway speeds. Let me know after your test drive, JP.</blockquote>
