You can also shift manually with two shift pad-
dles on the steering wheel.
You can also choose between two driving pro-
grams: Normal or Sport, refer to Dynamic Driv-
ing Control.
Shift paddles on steering wheel
The shift paddles allow you to shift gears
quickly, as both hands can remain on the steer-
ing wheel.
>
When you use the shift paddles on the
steering wheel to shift gears in automatic
mode, the gearshift system switches into
the manual mode.
>
If you do not shift with the shift paddles and
do not accelerate for a certain time, the sys-
tem switches into the automatic mode
again when the selector lever is in D.
>
To shift up: pull one of the shift paddles.
>
To shift down: press one of the shift pad-
dles.

The Dynamic Driving Control makes it possible
for your BMW to react in an even more perfor-
mance-oriented manner at the push of a button:
>
The speed range of the engine is optimally
utilized.
>
Gearshifts are faster.
>
The engine responds more spontaneously
to accelerator pedal movements.
>
The steering will operate in an even sportier
mode.
>
In the automatic mode, the 6th gear is not
engaged.
