Any DCT Problems on MY2011?

ChrisK · 06-25-2010, 11:21 AM

Just as the title says, has anyone had any DCT problems on their 2011's? All of these DCT problems are making me nervous.

None so far with mine. I'm still in the break-in period so haven't really pressed it hard though.

So nothing weird at all?

Not that I can identify. Keep in mind that I have 480 miles on a car with a transmission I have never driven before. Nothing jumps out at me. I did try and mimic the sudden drop in speed to about 5 mph to see if there was any lag, but nothing. Just as responsive as ever.

No problems. So much better than e46 SMG.

I test drove a 2011 DCT yesterday and found zero lag and nothing short of perfection. I'm thinking BMW may have gotten the bugs out now.

Bit over 9 weeks and 1420 miles. Zero issues. Like it A LOT !!

Had no problem with mine while doing ED for 2 weeks with 1.5k+ miles.

Zero issues here. 2200 miles.

1200 km in a week during ED this month and the car was great.
