When did the 135i get DCT?

2011
That is probably why BMW has introduced a DSG transmission on the 2011 BMW 1-Series 135i. The official name from BMW is the 2011 BMW 1-Series 135i DCT. I suppose it is shorter than the Ralliart’s Twin-Clutch SST.

Does BMW have manual transmission?

Every BMW M3 since the original E30 has been available with a manual gearbox. Thankfully BMW has decided to keep that streak alive.

What kind of transmission does a BMW 135i have?

The dual-clutch transmission is the same DCT-branded gearbox offered in the Z4. It replaces the 135i’s optional six-speed automatic and costs $200 more; a six-speed manual is still the standard transmission option. The 128i continues with the choice of six-speed manual or traditional automatic.

What’s the 0 to 60 time on a BMW 135i?

We expect the DCT will bring 0-to-60-mph times down by 0.1 or 0.2 second compared with manual-equipped 135s, into the mid-four-second range. The quickest 135i we’ve tested, a manual-equipped coupe, took 4.7 seconds to reach 60, and a three-pedal convertible completed the task in 4.9.

Is the BMW 135i compatible with the DCT?

In the case of the 135i, the fitment of the DCT might close the preference gap for some and will likely improve acceleration times.

What’s the difference between BMW N54 and N55 DCT?

The difference in character between the N54 and N55 seems minimal, at least in this application, but it’s the DCT’s quick shifts that improve the experience, keeping the engine in the power better than the automatic was able to.
