In the following situations, the 7-gear Sports >
automatic transmission with double clutch
does the thinking for you:
If you do not accelerate or shift gears using
the shift paddles for a certain amount of
time, the transmission switches back to
automatic mode if the selector lever is in
position D.
>
Upshifts and downshifts are executed only
when they will result in a plausible combina-
tion of engine and vehicle speed; thus, for
example, a downshift that could cause the
engine to overrev will not be executed by
the system.
>
>
At a stop, the transmission is automatically
shifted down to the first gear.
Shortly before the speed falls below a gear-
dependent minimum speed, the transmis-
sion automatically downshifts without your
intervention.
>
>
To upshift, briefly pull the right shift
paddle +.
Quick downshifting: Even in sequential mode,
you can skip over several gears in order to
achieve an optimum acceleration. To do so,
depress the accelerator past the resistance
point.
To downshift, briefly pull the left shift pad-
dle –.
Driving dynamics control
To return to automatic mode, push the selector
lever to the right.
The driving dynamics control permits you, at
the push of a button, to have your BMW react in
an even more sporty fashion when driving:
Gear shifting
>
Optimal use is made of the engine's speed
range.
Upshift or downshift using the selector lever or
the shift paddles. You do not need to lift your
foot off the accelerator when doing so.
>
>
Gear changes occur more quickly.
The engine reacts more spontaneously to
accelerator pedal movements.
Using the selector lever
>
To upshift, pull the selector lever toward the
rear.
Activating the system
>
To downshift, push it toward the front.
Using the shift paddles on the steering
wheel
You can also shift manually using two shift pad-
dles on the steering wheel. The shift paddles
allow you to shift gears quickly since both
hands can remain on the steering wheel.
>
When you use the shift paddles on the
steering wheel to shift gears in automatic
mode, the transmission switches to manual
mode.
Press the SPORT button.
The LED in the button lights up and SPORT
appears in the info display.
