BMW 325i Automatic Transmission Shift Levers

BMW 325i Automatic Transmission Shift Levers make it possible to quickly and confidently select Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, and low so that the car can start, move, or stay where it is in the moment the driver wants it to. These Automatic Transmission Shift Levers are developed for smooth hand movement. Early versions of the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers in the 325i had the same long-standing, column shift lever layout, a pivoting arm that was connected by linkage rods to the gearbox manual lever and accompanied by a column-mounted indicator. As bucket seats and center consoles became common, later models of the BMW switched to the floor-mounted design that sits alongside the driver using a handle button that had to be pressed before the lever traveled to avoid a shift by accident. Federal adoption of the PRNDL order standardized the pattern of gates followed by these Automatic Transmission Shift Levers, and the assembly was given a brake-pedal dependent electronic interlock that holds the lever in Park until the pedal is depressed. Current BMW 325i models use added overdrive lockout switches and manual shift buttons and retain mechanical or cable connections to the transmission. Whatever style, Automatic Transmission Shift Levers convert simple hand movement into refined gearbox action.
