Resistance kickdown point

BonanzaNLD · 07-17-2012, 03:23 PM

A few days ago I accidentally noticed a point of resistance during a kickdown. After pushing it beyond this point, the engine shifted back and I think it even went higher into the revs before shifting up again. Since this is my first bimmer: is this normal, standard? Either way: I like it

Yeah that is normal.

First BMW?
Sounds like this is your first automatic.

Yes, it's normal and standard, very happily.

Not all auto have a resistance at kickdown though, that's a nice touch if that's the case.

The kick down doesn't happen in sports+ if you have it. It's fully manual in that mode. Fyi

Ah ok, clear... also in Sport+ I notice the resistance btw

The resistance is always there as its a physical thing. In sport+ it won't downshift or up shift unless you do it yourself. just to clarify.
