BMW 328i Automatic Transmission Shift Levers

BMW 328i Automatic Transmission Shift Levers allow the driver to choose between Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, or low with the simple motion of the hand rather than using the manual clutch. Early 328i sedans had column-mounted Automatic Transmission Shift Levers connected by rods to the gearbox in a similar arrangement that freed front bench space, but these items sacrificed the firm feel that drivers enjoy. With the advent of bucket seats as standard, BMW switched to console floor-mounted Automatic Transmission Shift Levers that have a release button under the thumb. This mechanical interlock, together with an ignition brake shift lock, guards against accidental engagement of gears. Later cars shifted to electronics for shifting, using electronic shift by wire, where sensors inside compact Automatic Transmission Shift Levers would communicate with a control module that would move an actuator on the transmission without any heavy linkage. This made it possible to create features such as overdrive lockout or manual tap up tap down buttons. Though styling evolved from slender steering column stalks to sporty leather-topped floor selectors, the shared mission of all BMW 328i Automatic Transmission Shift Levers remains quick, secure, and intuitive gear selection for confident driving.
