What transmission is used in the new BMW 3 Series?
1 Answers
The new BMW 3 Series uses a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, which is also applied in many models produced by BMW. The latest generation BMW 3 Series offers one powertrain option, equipped with a BMW-produced 2.0T turbocharged engine delivering a maximum power of 135 kW and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. Automatic transmissions in vehicles require lubrication oil for proper functioning. Without lubrication, the transmission may overheat during operation. Generally, automatic transmission fluid should be replaced every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers or approximately every 2 to 3 years. However, this interval may vary depending on the vehicle's specific usage conditions. If the vehicle is well-maintained and the transmission fluid shows no significant degradation, the replacement interval can be extended. The dimensions of the new BMW 3 Series are 4734mm in length, 1811mm in width, and 1453mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2920mm.
