    How To Use The BMW Steptronic Transmission And Select Drive Modes
    In this video I show you how to use the BMW steptronic transmission and how to start and select Drive, Reverse, Neutral, Park, Sports, and manual. In addition I show you how to select eco pro, comfort, and sport modes.
    Please refer to the updated video in the link above where I answer a lot of your questions that have been posted here as well as a large reduction in me saying "so". Hope you enjoy!

    A hint: Shift into N; apply handbrake: release the brake pedal that the car itself fixes into the final positon; press the P. This way you won't stress the gearbox.

      The sport MODE changes the settings for the gears so you get more performance and torque as well as locking down the suspension for a more road feel/tight ride.
      The sport TRANSMISSION is basically letting you shift gears either using the center stick or the paddle shifters so you can drive in a clutchless manual shifting fashion. FUN times!

    • @brandonbelanger_Official
      @brandonbelanger_Official  7 років тому +1

      With the paddles all you have to do to engage them is click up or down and it then it is in manual mode or you can move the gear lever to S/M and push forward or pull back and then use the paddles. Now the modes sport and sport+ are just suspension and engine settings, also sport+ partly disables traction control.
      Hope this helps.

    Is it able to be turned into S gear by not pushing to D mode again, while in M mode?

      D and S are the same transmission function, automatic, D is more relaxed driving and S is for sport. M is a manual mode and can be selected by pushing up or down while in the M/S mode.

      Imagine babysitting rich kids and the parents leave you the car and you can’t get them from school because you can’t get out of park
