The manual 6 shift gearbox
Hi,
I have an X3 2.0D (delivered April 1st 2011) with manual gearbox.
shifting
I use mostly (1) 2 - 5 shift up to 2500 - 2700 rpm (55-60 mph). I seem like the 6 gear works best from 2700 rpm (60+ mph) and any use before that you might experience loss of power driving on a freeway with some hills.
The shifting is very smooth, tight with perfect precision
and excellent handling = BMW style
automatic start/stop function
to make it work you should always put your gearbox in neutral and only push down your brake pedal. What you normally do is to leave it in gear 1 and push both the clutch- and the brake pedals.
So basically it is a different style of driving. For most people this function will probably not work as we tend to keep our old behaviors while driving.
