How to use BMW's electronic gear lever

1. P gear: parking gear, parking gear, is the gear when the vehicle is parked for a long time. Generally, there is a "P gear" button on the top of the BMW gear lever. When parking, press the P button on the top, and the green "P" will be displayed on the gear lever, indicating that the car is in the parking state. If you do not press the P button, stop the car, take off the seat belt, and open the door, the transmission will automatically enter the P gear.

2. D gear: which is the forward gear. Press and hold the lock button on the left side of the gear lever and pull the gear lever back. A green "D" will be displayed on the gear lever, indicating that the vehicle will enter the D gear.

3. N gear: This is the neutral gear, which is the gear you need to shift into when the vehicle is parked for a short time without shutting down the engine, such as when waiting at a red light or in a traffic jam. Push the gear lever forward until the letter "N" is displayed on the gear lever, and the N gear is engaged.

4. R gear: This is the reverse gear, which is the gear that the vehicle is engaged when it needs to go backwards. Press and hold the lock button on the left side of the gear lever, then push the gear lever forward until the "R" on the gear lever lights up, indicating that the reverse gear is engaged.

5. S gear: S stands for sports mode. As the name suggests, it makes the vehicle drive more sporty. When the car is in D gear, pushing it to the left will shift to M/S gear. At this time, the default gear is S gear.

What does the "I" on the BMW logo mean?

The "i" on the tail of a BMW stands for gasoline engine and also for the fuel injection system.

BMW has launched many models. In order to distinguish these models, different numbers are marked on the rear of the car. However, the pattern of these numbers is still very obvious. For example, the 1 Series has 118i, 120i, and the 3 Series has 320i, 325Li, etc., all of which have different meanings.

Taking the newly launched BMW 325Li as an example, 3 represents the 3 Series, 25 represents the 2.0T engine, L represents the extended wheelbase version, and i represents fuel. These are all the meanings of the logo on the rear of a BMW car.

In addition to this tail logo, there are also sDrive and xDrive logos on the rear of BMW cars. At present, the most widely used xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system in China is the X series models. We can see its logo on the side of the BMW X1, X3, X5 and X6. There is also the sDrive logo, which appears on the BMW Z4 and X1. The main meaning is rear-wheel drive.

Many BMW models use rear-wheel drive systems. The BMW 3 Series and BMW 5 Series also use rear-wheel drive. The reason why there is no such logo is to distinguish the difference between sedans and performance cars.
