M235/M240 Downshift Sound (auto)
Hey guys!
I'm in waiting process for 2er. Here in Czech was no M235/M135 for rent in dealers. So they gave me 340i to see how engine works. But the problem I saw was transmission! That was a sh*t! Up-shifts were ok, but downshift WHAT?! My question: is there any chance, M235/M240 has different/more sporty transmission? I like to downshift while stoping to make a noise lol. Not the crackle sound when coming down from higher RPMs but the beaut sound some cars make when downshifting with paddles. My previous E89 Z4 35is did it and it was aghhhhh for my ears... I love it... Don't you guys know something about it or are downshifts quick? Because 340i transmission was rubbish.. Thanks, Mike |

Sorry for you but your m240 will have the same behaviour as the 340.
Your z4 was probably a DCT and the m240 isn't. My brother has an e92 '09 335i DCT and I see exactely what you are talking about but unfortunately our cars don't do that sound |

The 340 that you drove may not have had the "Sport Automatic" version of the ZF8, it may have had the Steptronic version instead. Also, makes no sound in Comfort mode, needs to be in Sport or above to make the most noise, some of which of course is artificially sent through the audio speakers.

Both versions have paddles. Easiest way to tell the difference is the shifters. Steptronic on left, Sport on the right.
