The new BMW 2 Series range of cars can be combined with either a manual transmission, a standard eight speed automatic transmission, or the innovative eight speed Steptronic transmission. The Steptronic technology combines the smoothness and ease of an automatic gearbox with the performance and enjoyment of a manual. The increased efficiency comes from the uniquely fine increments between changes in gears, which in turn ensures the engine is in the best gear at any time, and fuel consumption is reduced. Plus, the converter clutch allows drivers to select manual mode, giving higher driver control and adding even more fun in the drive.

The noise level created by BMW’s automatic transmission system is negligible, even at higher speeds. And the combination of an automatic transmission with other BMW EfficientDynamics technologies means that the fuel economy and efficiency of every model of 2020 BMW 2 Series automatic cars is greatly improved. Performance is also enhanced via the Driving Experience Control system, which now includes Predictive Drive Train technology. This pioneering system from BMW connects the automatic transmission to on-board satellite navigation and cameras system, allowing the gearbox controller to recognise traffic and road conditions ahead, and adjust the pace of gear changes accordingly. In models with forward-facing cameras, this innovation also reduces the chances of collisions, and improves passenger safety.

In general, the automatic transmission versions provide higher fuel economy and lower emissions than the equivalent manual BMW 2 series model, resulting in financial savings for the vehicle owner, balancing out the higher initial cost for the automatic model.
