As noted, the 535i and 550i will be available with a choice of 6-speed manual transmission, BMW’s new 8-speed automatic transmission, or new “Sport Automatic” 8-speed.
Regarding the autos, the latter is just the same as the former, except it has paddles on the wheel (and perhaps adjustable shift programs), correct?

In other words, the actual transmission itself is the same, its just the interface and software that's different?

Just making sure I understand.
