At the request of the client, BMW models can be equipped with an automatic transmission. The automatic transmission provides automatic shifting in three forward gear ranges.
To ensure quick acceleration, for example when overtaking, the automatic transmission has a so-called kickdown switch, which is activated when the gas pedal is fully depressed. The kickdown effect either delays the transmission in an upshift or shifts from upshift to one of the downshifts.
Sufficient professional experience is necessary to assess the operation of an automatic transmission and troubleshooting, so if you are in doubt about the abnormal operation of an automatic transmission, you should immediately contact a service station.
