Twin Turbo Revelation !

[YvesD]

Brothers,

I have seen the light !

Picked up my new BMW 335i Auto last week and despite only being able to use low running in revs I am mightily impressed by its delivery.

Very smooth, refined and pleanty torquey too. Also feels like its going to be rather fast when run in ( BMW quote 0-62mph in 5.7 secs for the auto, non too shabby for a 1600kg + barge ! ).

My thinking now is what on earth must the 997 tt Tiptronic feel like at full chat ? Must be an awesome experience.

Almost convinced myself to try Porsches auto tranny out on my next 911.

Yes, and they will probably have added another gear and a flappy paddle manual overide function to it by the time I can afford one.

Perfect.

Now where is my Piggy Bank !
