My 335 is manual, but it has slighter longer gears for 3-4-5-6 and a longer final drive (and so does the 135 manual).

Therefore I expect that the manual versions of both cars could feel a tad slower in some gears than their auto versions.


Also forgot to mention the gearbox: I can easily see the improvement over previous versions, but whoever says it's the same as a manual is dead wrong. At the end of the day it's still just an automatic, with slurred responses. :iono: Auto-owners, please don't be offended by this comment, to each his own.
