u know in the M3...it actually cruises at 60kmh in 7th too. blardy gearings. good for driving slowly. once u hit a track or even try to overtake n drop gears..u just keep mucking around with the paddles. v annoying. low torque. drop 2-3 gears just to achieve some torque when a 6 speed GB wud hv been just fine.

Congrats on your new ride. Yes, F30 328i is indeed a good car. You can call upon the power when you need it, no problem when overtaking on the highway. Just tap the throttle and the car will response. The 8-speed is really commendable.

I kinda agree with tomace... I drove the F30 328i for the whole day @ sepang during the BMW driving experience training. engine is impressive, 8speeder is good for daily drive but for some enthusiastic drive really i prefer the taller gears on the 6 speed which I think was perfect as a transmission less the jerky shifts. suspension was too soft, even when on sport setting. steering too light also.
oddly my F10 steering doesn't feel as light (maybe car heavier). but i do find myself downshifting two gears on the 8spd when i want to overtake.

Re: My comments on my 2 weeks F30 328i
actually after one of the bros mentioned / asked me in another thread, i did take notice how i shift...
shift usually based on feel, never really look at gear unless slow speed (so i don't accidentally shift into gear 1/2) but after looking @ dashboard, i find that i do go up to gear 8 during city drive. some roads can hit 80kph.

sound like a taxi! absolutely irritating!! the most irritating thing about my F30 320i.
my start/stop function miraculously stopped functioning after a month or so...perhaps the car is "smart" enough to know that i dont like it as i kept switching it off.

I reckon the 8-speeder is to relieve them the DCT issues esp like Audi's mechantronic failures, and the ability of the torque convertor to be strengthened for high torque purposes.
8-speed with closer ratios makes the fc better if u drive the same way, WOT wise all being equal - nothing much, but zipping round town is quite useful.
Anyway just enjoy it cos no other options except MT hahahhaa :laughlik:
