Smooth and responsive, the 6-speed manual transmission in BMW 1 Series Coupé models
makes for dynamic driving at its best. Its standout features are the short-throw
shifts, perfect ratios and optimum exploitation of torque. The optional 6-speed
automatic delivers smooth driving with exceptional reaction speed combining instant
power when pulling out and reduced fuel consumption at high speeds. Drivers who
prefer a more hands-on approach can activate Steptronic for manual gearshifts.
