I suspect the same time. There will be a six-speed manual available for both as well.

Finally. Now let's wait until Porsche has finished work on their version. Something that was announced 2 years ago.

A huge step forward for BMW. I've driven the Audi A3 and this trans is so good that it will propel BMW a few notches higher than the competition.

Only when its measured up against the Audi DSG benchmark will I have an opinion. BMW clearly had a looser with the SMG, for that matter there was not a single OEM that has anything close to Audi's DSG. Now many are working hard to catch up or copy Audi's technology. I want to see a comparo, but I do not expect BMW to improve upon the DSG.

for your information AUDI is NOT the inventor of the Dual Clutch Transmission, It happened to be the first to use it and it named Its version DSG....You look stupid making such statements
