What transmission does the BMW 1 Series use?
1 Answers
The BMW 1 Series uses a 6-speed and 8-speed Steptronic transmission. The Steptronic transmission is a gear-shifting device that combines manual and automatic transmission functions. This technology was developed to enhance the fuel efficiency and handling performance of automatic transmissions, allowing drivers to regain control over shift timing decisions typically made by the computer, thereby improving driving operability and enriching the driving experience. The BMW 1 Series features classic BMW design elements such as the iconic kidney grille and angel-eye xenon headlights, a dynamic short front overhang with an ultra-long wheelbase, breathtaking streamlined side contours, stylish and pure high-quality interiors, and a flexible cargo space ranging from 330 to 1150 liters, all of which are truly impressive.
