BMW 3 Series uses a transmission from ZF, which can be described as "fast as a rabbit and quiet as a maiden". The specific performance is as follows: 1. In normal driving mode, it actively upshifts to keep the engine speed below 2000rpm, with very smooth gear changes. 2. In sport mode, the transmission responds extremely quickly, with all upshifts and downshifts synchronized with your operations. Transmission technology extension: The latest BMW 3 Series is equipped with the 3rd generation ZF8HP, which has a history of 18 years. The first two generations of 8HP were optimized mainly by expanding the gear ratio, but for the 3rd generation, expanding the ratio to 10 while maintaining 8 gears was not meaningful, so it still maintains an 8.6 gear ratio.

What Causes the Clicking Noise When Turning at Low Speeds?

Steering noise is caused by friction between the steering column and floor mats, or faults in the clock spring or thrust bearing. The details are as follows: Friction between the steering column and floor mats: If the noise comes from below the steering wheel when turning, check the steering column and floor mats. Oversized aftermarket floor mats can directly contact the steering column, causing friction during rotation. Lack of lubrication can lead to noise, which can be resolved by applying lubricant. Clock spring malfunction: If the noise originates from inside the steering wheel, it is often due to dryness in the clock spring. Remove the clock spring and apply grease to see if the noise persists. If it does, replace the clock spring. Thrust bearing issues: If the thrust bearing is poorly lubricated or damaged, a clicking noise will occur when turning. The suspension system has rubber bushings that can age over time. Worn bushings increase suspension play, leading to noise when turning. Replace all aged rubber bushings in the suspension to resolve this. Solutions for steering noise: Lubricate the steering column; refill power steering fluid; replace universal joints, thrust bearings, or the power steering system; replace worn suspension stabilizer link bushings; adjust the gap between brake discs and pads.
