2 Questions concerning transmission
Today I drive the BMW 335xi with 6 gear manual transmission.
Can anybody compare the affordable forces when using the clutch? Are there differences between the new 370 and the former 350? How straining/hard is it to drive the 370z within stop-and-go/traffic jam? My second question is concerning the 7g auto transmission: What about the performance of the car? Is a 7g at - model slower than the 6g mt one? Especially the acceleration? The fuel consumption should be simular? I'm sure to use a terrible English and I'm sorry for that... Nevertheless I'm looking forward to every answer!

As for clutch, it's very smooth. My 350z clutch was very hard. I hated it. But this one is amazing. It makes up for the slightly longer gear throws.... that's how good the clutch is!

Having a 335i and now a 370Z I would say that the two are nearly identical in the force required to operate the clutch. The 1-2 shift in the 335i is way smoother that the Z. However, as I get used to the Z's transmission it is getting better. Neither one would bother me in traffic.
A Z salesman drove my 335i and he was impressed with the overall smoothness of the transmission. Again, I am not referring to the required force to operate the clutch. Last thought. If you get the sport package the rev match is fun to play with.
