Driving Experience Control allows you to easily switch between the Normal, Sport or Sport+
driving modes. For sporty drivers, this option allows you to sharpen all the vehicle’s responses. The
system infl uences the direct feedback from the steering system, the sensitivity of the accelerator
and the gearshift timing of the optional automatic transmissions. Additionally, at the push of a button
(DSC off) you can deactivate Dynamic Stability Control or change to Traction mode, allowing wheel
slip within defi ned limits for a sportier driving style.
Adaptive M suspension lowers the chassis by mm and electronically adjusts the dampers
(from sportingly tight to relaxed and comfortable) for a further boost to agility and an impressively
precise response (standard with Z sDrive is).
Six-speed manual transmission for an
unbelievably athletic driving style. Smooth and
optimally synchronised, it boasts precise,
short-throw gear shifts. Thanks to the narrow
transmission ratios with an additional sixth gear,
the engine is even more responsive to your own
personal style of driving (not available with
Z sDrive is).
Eight-speed sport automatic transmission
for highly convenient and fast gear shifts using
the gear lever or the gearshift paddles on the
leather steering wheel – for a maximum of driving
dynamism and efficient fuel consumption
(available with sDrive i and sDrive i).
Seven-speed sport automatic
transmission with double clutch for particularly
fast gear shifts with no loss of traction, using the
gear lever or the gearshift paddles on the leather
steering wheel; for optimum driving dynamics
and efficient fuel consumption (standard with Z
sDrive is, optionally available with Z sDrive i).
