I was initially dead set on getting a manual because I do want to learn how to drive one. (would be my first manual car) But the ZF with xHP is actually pretty sweet from what I've seen. There's a lot more automatics for sale in my area, and they are generally cheaper and less riced out.I recently picked up an E36 with a manual. It's beautiful to drive. I work at a BMW dealership and finally got to drive a manual E92. It makes me want to manual swap my E90. If you can find a manual, grab it. But my next car will be automatic for sure. At the time, it was one of the more responsive (in manual mode) automatics out there that was not a dual clutch. I have a 6MT and have owned my E90 since new, and I am a fan. It has always been a pleasure to drive. If you like driving MT, spend the time to find a car with one. I made the call to simplify my search, and because most of my driving is my commute which is mostly freeway. I do wish I had a manual. I got an auto because it was much, much easier to find a car with my other requirements (iDrive, sport pack, saddle brown interior, burl walnut trim). If I could do it over again I would have expanded my search radius and flown out to pick up a car out of state if need be (currently there are only four cars in the US on autotrader that match my criteria). So I suppose it comes down to how hard that factor makes it to find a car, and what you’re willing to sacrifice to have a manual. The ZF auto is good. It’s a very nice automatic transmission. The manual shifters work well. Sport mode provides nice sharpness.

There are small habits that can do damage that don't really affect how the car drives but those habits can result in premature failure of different components. I bought a manual 335is because I've had years of experience driving a manual. There are some things I didn't like about it but it's possible to change.

So what are your thoughts on Automatic vs. Manual transmissions. Do you feel it affects the way you drive. Did you choose the one you wanted or did you take what was available. Whichever you have, would you switch if you could. Basically, give me your thoughts on which you prefer and why. I want to see if there is a consensus here. Edit: It sounds like most people are opting for automatics due to traffic. I suppose that is not at all surprising. As I got older it got harder to drive stick. Even if you know how to drive stick and prefer stick cars doesn't necessarily force you to pick the manual transmission car. And sometimes the manual transmission is crap. Like a Fiat rental I got stuck with somewhere in Germany in the mid 90s. Oh wait, the whole car was crap. Would I voluntarily drive a Miata (any generation) with an automatic transmission. Not one chance in hell. Would I use my lotto money to buy a 2014 Porsche Turbo S, which only ships with the DCT, with the fist of an angry God I would. But I personally don't see a DCT as a true automatic transmission, to me an automatic transmission has a torque converter. A DCT to me is a manual transmission with a built-in all-knowing robot that can always shift faster than me, and sometimes it can even pick the right gear all by itself.
Would I use the proceeds from any criminal enterprise I may or may not be involved with to purchase a pimp-mobile like a Cadillac Escalade. That said, I'm in the middle of swapping it. I looked at another dozen similar BMWs (mostly 328's and 335 coupes) and none of them had manual gearboxes. They are just more rare stateside. Even if one did, I can't say that for my daily driver (which includes 45-60 minutes of traffic round trip) I'd want it. The 6AT shifts better than I can (and probably better than I ever will), I have very nice and responsive paddle shifters should I desire a bit more control, and I don't have to deal with a clutch while sitting in traffic.They're way more involving, it's like a relationship. Things like clutch stiffness, the clutch take up point, shifter feel, they all add to the car's personality where automatics seem rather uniform by comparison. I am on the fence for an M5 though. Automatics through the late 90's were pretty much slower to shift and tended to result in reduced fuel economy due to weight and a lower number of gears (among other reasons). As the market moved towards automatics, which is something that BMW shunned in earnest until the mid 2000's (offering automatics as an additional cost option for decades on the 3-series, for example), manuals started falling out of favor across all manufacturer lineups (Nissan Maxima is an example I recall from the time). As of late, BMW is doing a full-scale onslaught across most market segments and, I know this isn't a huge surprise, basically every car on the lot is going to be automatic (or DCT). This is mainly to appeal to as many buyers as possible. Manuals are rare and you pretty much have to special order them. The shift in technology now means that automatics are very fast and the fuel economy advantage is no longer leaning towards manuals. I love manual shifting in a car that's meant for it; I like the car control and more involved driving experience.
Give me an E30 325is and I want a 5-speed manual over the slush box 4-speed automatic. Any older M car should be a manual - IMHO. Give me a new F10 535i (like I have currently) and I want the 8-speed automatic in sport mode - the manual 6-speed is more of a hassle in this case. It was heavy. I mean HEAVY. Driving to work 30 minutes a day, I've just stopped having what I thought would be permanent knee pain in my left leg. Changed to a 328i with a stick because fuck automatics. I don't hate people that drive em, but I can't stand the thought of buying a Tesla because there's no transmission options. Drove a 2003 m3 and it just wasn't as much fun. But if it was, I wouldn't have bought one anyways not a big fan of automatics unless it is a truck or something. I found an article a few months back that said last year in the US only about 5 of cars had manual transmissions. I know personally the last several cars I have had over the past 10 years or so have all had manual transmissions, but I like feeling in control. I find that in my manual I drive less aggressively because I have more focus into shifting and less focus on the road and my speed, etc. That being said, it is a lot of fun to roll through the gears; I feel like I am more in control of the car and its movement. There are pros and cons to the automatic as well. A lot of times I wish I had a third pedal to play with. But other times when I am on a steep incline in bumper to bumper traffic, I look to the sky and thank the gods (that I don't believe in) that I chose to drive the auto that day. Also, when I am whipping around the back roads around home, I find that I can really push the car harder and faster in the auto because I can place all my focus into cornering, etc. Maybe that is just me though. In the end, it's up to which qualities you value more. There will always be times where you wish you had the other option.

I really want one with a manual transmission, but it's a lot more difficult to find one with a manual than an automatic where I live because barely anyone here drives cars with a manual transmission. I've never even driven a car with a manual transmission before, but I know they're preferred if you want the most performance out of your car. I can find about ten 335i's on Craiglist right now within a two hour drive, but only one is manual. As much as I'd prefer to get a manual, I'm tempted to get one of the automatics because of their availability. How much do you guys think I would be missing out on in an automatic 335i versus a manual 335i? 9 comments share save hide report 60 Upvoted This thread is archived New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast Sort by best It is my 4th car and the 1st manual I have ever owned. I love shifting gears. I feel way more connected to the whole driving experience and I have no issues driving in the snow this winter. It'll feel much more like an engaging driver's car than a fast luxury car with two doors. And it's a great transmission: easy clutch, easy, sure throws, you could hardly design one better for learning on. To be honest, I preferred it in most ways to the gearshift in my current Cayman S. I will say that my M-Sport felt like it had shorter (better) throws than the standard coupe I test drove before ordering it, which I think is just down to the shorter shift knob vs.I'm not sure how easy they are to find, but I highly recommend the M-Sport package all around, it was a last minute option I checked but easily the best choice I made. If memory serves: more aggressive body work, better wheels, much better steering wheel (and aforementioned shift knob), dark liner that matches the default black interior far better. It made the car IMO.
I like the auto cause it is very smooth shifts without hesitation and drives perfectly. Manual transmissions are fun and all, but sometimes you want to drive and relax. Some people find a manual to be more engaging, but this has its downsides (stop-and-go traffic). I’d be hesitant to start on a 335i.maybe try some cheap Civic to see if a stick is right for you. There's natural power loss from a torque converter inefficiency, for one, 1 less gear, generally less direct control from throttle response and engine breaking in turns, and more weight. I've never seen evidence of the same car being faster on a track with that kind of auto vs. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts Log In Sign Up User account menu 13 335xi Manual vs Automatic - cant decide on the manual sedan, or the auto coupe. Coupe is 2010 with 10k less miles than the 2007 sedan. Is there any actual benefits to the manual over the automatic besides feeling control lol. Wanted to stick to manual but the coupe looks better Coupe is 2010 with 10k less miles than the 2007 sedan. Wanted to stick to manual but the coupe looks better The sedan is faster around a track and better balanced (marginally). Tsuchiya agrees with this and laps faster in the sedan. The e90 headlights look better than the e92 and m3 headlights in my opinion. The car looks better as a sedan, it's body shape accentuating the crease in the side of the car, giving it that crisp, pleated look. This is only my opinion, and I'm not really sure why I prefer the sedan. The e9x was meant to be 4 doors. Mileage is arbitrary if it’s been maintained. I shipped mine from NOLA to Michigan. If you're in the US, the manuals are quite rare, especially for an E90 from my experience trying to find one. Auto isn’t that aggressive, DS eats away at your MPG. I’ve had mine for about 10 years now, and I still enjoy it EVERY SINGLE DAY. Anyone is welcome! 13.

Most taxi drivers are renowned for knowing their way around, but it would seem that this one needs to update his A to Z, as he has got a bit lost. Sadly, you'll have to get out and start your journey again. It is not currently accepting answers.Update the question so it can be answered with facts and citations by editing this post.Is there any reason to think that an automatic transmission is less reliable (more likely to break requiring a costly fix) versus a manual transmission in the same vehicle? Answers will tend to be very subjective. You may want to reward your question into what are the pro's and con's of the bmw automatic transmission and the manual or I believe the close hammer will come down upon thee. Cheers. Usually gearbox and engine are the most durable parts of the car if they are regularly serviced and well taken care of. You will have to replace many parts before it's engine's and gearbox's turn. Manual is low cost maintanence in case of problems compared to automatic. However, if the manual car is badly driven, you will experience a lot of problems with the gears themselves. I would suggest replacing the clutch as soon as possible after you buy the car since it is 15 years old. It will make a smoother drive. Why automatic is more costly to fix than manual is because automatic is a more complicated and closed system compared to the manual. Also, there are more aftermarket parts available for manual transmission than automatic. (Eg. Clutch, lever, gear etc). You have to take care of the, well. I currently drive a 2014 X5 and I had to get the electronic components of the air suspension replaced due to cold weather. (Below -10F) You don't know if it has been replaced before. And why would you do it if it causes no problems anyways. Either way, manual transmissions are cheaper to repair, that is true.
My suggestion was regarding that the manual does not feel smooth, and new clutch would make it more comfortable.Replacing an auto on a 2004 Corolla was cheaper than any repair would've been on any transmission. It depends strongly on the circumstances surrounding the repair for what costs less. Just looking at how many used BMWs are for sales with more than 200k miles suggests that major drivetrain problems are not common. There was a generation of Honda Accords which had major transmission problems, but that really doesn't mean anything regarding the reliability of Honda Accord transmissions of other generations. The same can be said of many different vehicle makes and models, and I'm sure is true of BMW. That common failure happened well before 100k miles, so if the car has reverse when you look at it, you're probably in good shape.

Released as the 6HP26 in 2000, it was the first six-speed automatic transmission in a production passenger car. Other variations of the first generation 6HP in addition to the 6HP26, were 6HP19, and 6HP32 having lower and higher torque capacity, respectively. In 2007, the second generation of the 6HP series was introduced, with models 6HP21 and 6HP28. A 6HP34 was planned, but never went into production. This means the 6HP26 is actually lighter than its five-speed 5HP predecessors. It also has the capability to achieve torque converter lock-up on all six forward gears, and disengage it completely when at a standstill, dramatically closing the fuel efficiency gap between automatic and manual transmissions.Deviant gear ratios indicate another manufacturer as shown in the template.After gaining additional gear ratios only with additional components, this time the number of components has to decrease for the first time in spite of the necessity of even more ratios.
Coming from 5 gear ratios made of 10 main components (gear sets, Ravigneaux considered as 2, brakes, clutches) to the 6 made of 8 now reflects, what major progress the Lepelletier gear mechanism means compared to conventional designs like the 5HP-family.When this failure starts to occur, shift quality and speed, torque transfer and even loss of ability to engage gears can occur.As such, the 6HP19 is rated at 400 N?m (295 lb?ft) of torque.It was rated for a maximum input torque of 600 newton-metres (443 lbf?ft ). It was first used by the BMW 7 Series (E65) in 2001. Initially only used by premium brands, it was later available on the 2009 model year V8 Hyundai Genesis.Ford has developed their own versions ( 6R60 and 6R80 ) based on the 6HP26. Therefore, certain Ford vehicles will not be listed.It was used by the Volkswagen Group for some permanent four-wheel drive models.By using this site, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Freeport, NY 11520 Freeport, NY 11520 Sure, a manual gearbox offers more control under those conditions when you need it, but an automatic gives you the flexibility of letting the car decide the shift times when necessary—like during your morning commute. That’s because this “manu-matic” gearbox offers the best of both worlds; a manual-shifting experience when you want it, and a multi-drive mode automatic when the situation calls for it. The newest generation of Steptronic transmissions is both incredibly flexible and incredibly quick-shifting. They offer a tremendous range of performance options, depending on the drive mode selected and the driving style you choose. You now have full control over what gears you’ll be driving in—up to a point. The Steptronic transmission is smart enough to not let you rev too far into the red zone, or to downshift into an unsafe gear. In Comfort and Eco drive modes, the shift points will be lower than they would be in Sport mode. This highly advanced transmission system has been designed to give drivers the most flexibility possible, without detracting from the driving experience. After all, choosing a BMW is about performance and the Ultimate Driving Machine. Other transmission choices are of course a fully manual transmission and a sport automatic—either standard or as an option on many models.
If you are interested in seeing whether the BMW you are interested in has the Steptronic transmission available, head on over to the BMW website and build your model using the Build Your Own tool. We think you’ll be very pleasantly surprised.

When you need to be a bit more practical about your vehicle, you may want an automatic transmission for the times when the car should be deciding when it’s time to shift.
The gearbox with the Steptronic gives you the choice between using a manual shift when you want to, and changing over to the multi-drive mode automatic when you need it. Since that time, engineers and the design team in Munich have been trying to improve the transmission to make it more effective for drivers. The newest generation of the Steptronic shifts very quickly, and can be used in a wide variety of situations. This gives the driver plenty of range when it comes to performance, driving style and the driving mode chosen by the driver. The first mode is the fully automatic drive mode, allowing the driver to focus on other aspects of the driving experience without worrying about shifting. The third mode is a manual shift mode, which gives the driver the opportunity to fully control the shifting of the vehicle. You’ll end up with control over the gears of the vehicle, although the transmission is equipped with the ability to stop you from shifting into a gear that isn’t safe or from revving the engine too much. The car will shift at a lower point when in the Comfort and Eco drive modes. This is a very advanced transmission, and gives drivers plenty of flexibility without compromising the experience of the driver. When you want to drive a fast, high performance vehicle, you’ll go with the BMW brand. What Your BMW Dashboard Warning Lights Mean. Its “flame-surfacing” creases and curves were a significant departure from the more conservatively styled E46 generation that it replaced. Reactions to the new look were polarized at the time, but we think today it holds up nicely. That included a major facelift for 2009, as well as the introduction of the potent N55 inline six engine, which incorporates a twin-scroll turbocharger to produce 300 hp from a modest 3.0 liter displacement. It’s also superbly specced, with options like the Sports and Cold Weather packages, plus a somewhat rare 6-speed manual gearbox.
Also of note: this was the last year that BMW offered hydraulic steering in the 3 Series, which is what gave these cars their trademark reputation for outstanding steering feel. And while the bright Crimson Red factory paint may not be for everyone, we appreciate that it’s certainly not a boring color.

While these are some of the reasons that drivers invest in BMW vehicles, they might be disappointed to discover that even BMWs are susceptible to wear and tear. When your BMW encounters transmission issues, they can be expensive to repair; however, it’s important to know that transmission issues account for a good portion of BMW problems serviced worldwide. As a BMW driver, it is essential to be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of a failing transmission so that you can take preventive measures as soon as possible—as waiting to address the issue will likely make it worsen quickly.
Here are some of the ways you can spot a transmission problem In your BMW: The check engine light is a catch-all warning sign that BMWs utilize to alert the driver that they need to take their car in for a diagnostic procedure. It is important that the codes being reported when dashboard lights illuminate are read by a professional with the proper diagnostic equipment. Additionally, having a BMW specialist attend to the issue will provide you the most accurate diagnostic and repair results possible. If this symptom is directly related to a transmission issue, you might notice the problem worsen when accelerating or when traveling at especially slow or fast speeds. If you notice any troubling symptoms like this, it is critical to have the problem checked out immediately — foregoing automotive care will only make the issue worse, and it can cause damage to other parts of your BMW’s engine. You may experience an intense jerking when shifting gears, clutch squeaking or troubling noises, or gear-shift hesitation. This can leave you at a high or low RPM for an awkward amount of time, or it can cause the car to stall. In worst cases, the car might even go into limp mode, where it cannot be driven, but must be towed to the nearest auto shop. This is a preventive measure that BMWs employ to keep the driver from continuing driving under unsafe conditions, and therefore, the engine from becoming further damaged. It can be helpful to know a little bit about what the common fluid leaks could be due to, including coolant leaks and oil leaks, and how they differentiate from transmission fluid leaks. If your BMW is leaking transmission fluid, you might notice a reddish-brown or vibrant red liquid beneath your car. This will require a thorough inspection to locate the source of the leak, fix the leak, and then replace the transmission fluid. This should be performed by someone who specialized in BMW care so that the problem can be efficiently diagnosed and treated.
We have all the necessary high-tech equipment in our facility and only employ highly-qualified and certified technicians in order to perform accurate diagnoses—which is where effective and efficient automotive repair work begins. For more information about our BMW-specific services, or to schedule an inspection or consultation, call us today. We look forward to helping you uphold the BMW brand and get the most out of this wonderful machine.
