Seven-speed sports automatic transmission.

Increase driving pleasure in your BMW 3 Series Convertible with the seven-speed sports automatic transmission with double clutch. This transmission changes gears with lightning speed and without any power gap.

The double-clutch switches between the two separate drivetrains, one for the even gears second, fourth and sixth and one for the odd gears first, third, fifth, seventh. This means that if you accelerate the BMW 3 Series Convertible in third gear for example, the fourth gear is already engaged. This produces extremely fast shift times with the resulting acceleration figures approaching sports car level. And because faster gear changes produce less friction loss, the sports automatic transmission saves 0.2 litres of petrol every 100 kilometres.

The gearshift paddles on the steering wheel mean that you can change gear in manual mode without ever having to take your hands from the wheel. When braking the engine speed is adjusted to the next gear while the rear wheels offer increased grip and optimal stability.
