Sequential M gearbox* SMG II

Shifting gears with shift paddles on

steering wheel:

> To upshift, briefly pull the right

paddle "+"

> To downshift, briefly pull the left

paddle "–."

Shift paddles with various widths

matched to the shape of your

hand are available from your BMW

center.<

Shifting gears with selector lever:

> To upshift, pull the selector lever

backward "+"

> To downshift, push the selector lever

forward "–".

No automatic upshifting is carried out in

the sequential mode.

You accelerate from higher gears, e.g.

during passing, by manually down-

shifting.

In the following situations the SMG II

helps you "think" in the sequential

mode:

> Upshifts and downshifts are only

executed when the new gear will

provide a suitable combination of

vehicle and engine speed, i.e., down-

shifts that would cause the engine to

overrev will not be executed

> During a stop the gearbox is auto-

matically downshifted into the first

gear so that, e.g. before a traffic light,

it is only necessary to accelerate to

continue driving

> When the speed is reduced, the

gearbox is automatically down-

shifted shortly before a gear-depen-

dent minimum speed is reached

without you taking any action.

A – Automated mode

Each time the engine is started, the

automated mode is activated as soon

as you move the selector lever into the

forward driving position.

In the automated mode all forward

gears are automatically shifted.

Changeover from sequential to auto-

mated mode: tap the selector lever to

the right toward "A." Watch the display

in the instrument cluster, refer to

page 61.

For rapid acceleration, e.g. during

passing, depress the accelerator pedal

completely (kick-down). The gearbox

now downshifts in dependence on the

selected driving program.

Even in the automated mode, you can

help specify the shifting point: if a gear-

dependent minimum speed is

exceeded, you can upshift by slowly

reducing pressure on the accelerator

pedal. In the process, the respective

driving situation is detected by sensors

and taken into account.
