How to Use BMW Paddle Shifters?
1 Answers
BMW paddle shifter usage is as follows: 1. First, place the gear lever in manual mode, then you can use the paddle shifters to change gears when the engine speed is appropriate, freely switching to the desired gear. 2. Both paddle shifters have the same function: lifting towards the driver with the index and middle fingers increases the gear; pressing down towards the steering wheel decreases the gear. Below are characteristics of BMW's 8AT transmission manual mode: 1. When vehicle speed and engine speed are too low, the transmission will automatically downshift to bring the engine speed up to a reasonable range. 2. Drivers should note that the transmission will not automatically upshift when the engine speed is too high.
