    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.

    To answer many of your questions about how to use the transmission while driving I made another video explaining the drive modes and transmission settings. The link: ua-cam.com/video/vKdPJfpALKo/v-deo.html

    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.

    Thanks for the detailed video as i'm looking to get a BMW, by the way you should always put the handbrake on first before putting the car in Park as this means no pressure is put on the parking pin which is more expensive to repair than the handbrake once worn out.

    • @TheTraveldoc
      @TheTraveldoc 3 роки тому +5

      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!
