How is BMW's Dual-Clutch Transmission?
1 Answers
BMW's 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is generally of good quality. After all, BMW uses its own transmission, so in terms of power delivery and shift timing calibration, BMW's 8AT transmission still holds a significant advantage. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Dual-Clutch Transmission: The dual-clutch transmission itself is a transmission with its own advantages. However, even in mass-market vehicles like Volkswagen, which has been using it for many years, the dual-clutch transmission hasn't been perfected. Therefore, the primary goal of equipping most models with dual-clutch transmissions currently is to reduce fuel consumption to meet national emission standards. 2. Transmission Competition: In the competition among transmissions in recent years, dual-clutch transmissions and AT transmissions have been fiercely competing. These two types of transmissions each have their strengths in development and application. Currently, it appears that dual-clutch transmissions will become the mainstream in the future automotive market. In recent years, many new car models have gradually switched to dual-clutch transmissions. Among them, BMW is no exception.
