Steptronic is the name BMW gives its automatic transmissions that have a manual shift function, which is pretty much any automatic-equipped BMW. Even though it’s an automatic, you can upshift and downshift on command when the gear selector is in a separate shifter gate, which can be accessed by pulling the gear selector to the left. You then push up on the selector to upshift and pull down to downshift. BMW’s Steptronic transmissions also feature steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters on some models.

This video is about how to use the BMW steptronic transmission and how to start and select Drive,Reverse,Neutral,Park,Sports, and manual and how to select ec. The build sheet for the car states in the 'Options' area, 202 Steptronic and 205 Automatic Transmission. The vehicle has paddle shifters. So, based on the build, this vehicle has the Aisin transmission, assuming it has not been replaced? Thank you, Mark: May 4, 2018.

Steptronic is different than BMW’s automated manual transmissions, which BMW calls the Sequential Manual Gearbox and M Double-clutch transmissions. Those transmissions are limited to high-performance M cars, including the M3, M5 and M6.

FYI: BMW M, also known as M-Technik or just “M” (for Motorsport) was initially created to facilitate BMW’s racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s. As time progressed, BMW M began to supplement BMW’s vehicles portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most known for to the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications to set them apart from their counterparts. WIKI.

Steptronic Transmission Bmw

I have mixed emotions on all of this super complicated shifter activity. For all practical purposes the fancy shifter is for show and glamor, it does not make the car faster, but it makes it more complicated, which owners of BMW cars like. I like a shifter that has: R-N-D-3-2-1 on the sticker. Nice and simple.
