0-60 and 1/4 on Steptronic 335?

[aznx1nvazn]

Well, all the times I've seen so far were from the manual, not the automatic. So, does anyone know the 0-60 and quarter mile times on the Steptronic 335? If there was a thread about this already, I'm sorry.

Oh wow, so both the automatic and manual are 4.9?

yea the new bmw automatics are almost/just as fast as the manual transmission

autos usually work well for staying in the boost range, but idk how well. being able to accept the power is where most start to fail.

Sometimes the steptronic is faster, you can just stomp your foot down and keep it there and it shifts extremely fast.

But doesn't the steptronic lose out on the fact that you cant slip the clutch?

slip the clutch?
You mean rev it to a specific point before launching?

Thats very hard on equipment and with combination that makes peak torque as low as the N54 motor, is really not needed.
