x3 35i

Hello!

Just purchased an x3 35i.

This may be a stupid question but is there no kick down in manual mode?

Coming from an E92 M3 I just assumed there would be even though I know it's a totally different system!

Thanks in advance

Wow - I didn't realize that at all, and now will probably never use it. If it's not a true stick shift I don't want to muck with it

Thanks very much for sharing that information

just don't put it in manual. moving the shifter to the left puts the trans into sport and as long as you don't upshift or downshift manually it won't go into manual mode.
