Works

2. BMW's Steptronic transmission is a new
generation dual automatic transmission
system.

manual shifting operation
and an automated multi-
drive mode option.

the eight-speed automatic transmission
to a eight-speed manual system without
a clutch lever.

WORKS

6. The gear knob has a 'P' key for park mode
and a digital display which indicates the
following options:
R
M/SD
N
Reverse Mode
Drive Mode
Neutral Mode
Manual/Sports Mode

7. If the car is not moving ,the
gear rests in the P-mode.

8. When you want to reverse the car, just
press the Unlock key on the left side of the
knob and move it forward to select the 'R'
with the gear lever.

18. IN THE
END

19. The Steptronic transmission system brings
an end to the long conflict of interest
between the automatic and manual

them in a single gear box.

20. It's all about performance and flexibility which
makes BMW, the ultimate driving machine.
