Wheres the P N D R D2 D1? At the side of the wheel? pics here.
Gears. Well, sorta since it's an auto. Park, Neutral, Drive, Reverse, Drive 1, Drive 2.
EDIT: Drive 2 and 1 will be (lower? or higher, I never get it the right way around) range gears for hills etc that the regular gearbox doesn't like.

umm, so where is it anyway? 5 series still have it in the middle lol.
Oh right, I see what you mean. Probably be buttons on the stearing column, or paddles.
Its paddles.
Looks like it's on the steering wheel to me. Not paddles on the side, but actually buttons. Not sure. More computer than car if you ask me
hmm i see, was figuring out when i saw a 7series yesterday. Didnt see those paddles behind the wheel.. And i thought bmw doesnt use that technology, only ferrari/lambo does.
Loads of cars use the ol' sequential paddles these days. I've seen it on quite a few normal cars too.Ayumiz wrote:

"Paddles"
or there could be an option on the side where you tap the rod (as on my parents ml550)

my dad has one. not that great.
my friends 335i has the regular shifter and the paddles on the wheel. this one is just confusing. look at a manual?
Care to let us know exactly where you select gears then?m4s3rchi3f wrote:

The new Jag uses the same kind if centre console button thing (the little silver button) to select gears, so that might be it.
Edit: Isn't it just those little silver square/rectangle buttons on the top half of the steering wheel?

i work for bmw
paddles annoy me on regular steering wheels, theyre good on proper racing steering wheels though like in F1, where its not a wheel but more of a .... rectangle
730Li is the V8 isnt it, 750 or 755 or something is 6L V12

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
