The six-speed transmission in the BMW 1 Series (three-door).

Smooth and responsive, the 6-speed manual transmissions in BMW 1 Series models make for dynamic driving at its best. Their standout features are the short-throw shifts, perfect ratios and optimum exploitation of torque. The optional 6-speed automatic transmission Steptronic, which can be operated manually, delivers smooth driving with exceptional reaction speed combining instant power when pulling out and reduced fuel consumption at high speeds.
