BMW 335i Steptronic gearbox rev-matching

in M mode, the gearbox will automatically rev the engine to match the gears.

makes a cool sound, especially from outside :)

Doesn't look like the latest model. I'd take a guess and say it's a 2008/2009?

@el3m3nt1986 modelyear 2008 :) later models have the double-clutch gearbox which is even better.

When using gear shifting with steptronic, you don't need to release the gas when changing gears like manual transmission?

[superchargedturbo]

@Chaoticshot nope :)

It doesn't matter, really.

In this vid my foot was off the throttle. It only rev-matches when in Manual mode.

You can brake and downshift. No problem.

@superchargedturbo I think they offered it back then as an optional upgrade as well(?) For the current models - at least over here in Germany - you can choose it as an optional as well. Or did I miss something? O_o

Would be quite embarassing since I work at a licenced BMW car dealership, haha.

@CasterTown I agree..

M-mode must stand for "Mom-mode" because the only person I know who doesn't know how to rev-match manually is my mom. What the hell is the point of this?

@GregWn hmm you must have drove the older one without the DCT. It matches the revs so it isnt't as jerky like the old ones were.
