Gearshift Lever

The gearshift lever accommodates a Micro-Quadlock system with a 12-pin electrical connector which includes the illuminated gearshift lever position indicator next to the gearshift lever on the center console. The lever is connected to the gearbox by electric leads only. The gearshift lever works the same as the previously used version (E46, E85).

A downshift is performed when the lever is pressed forward. An upshift is performed when the lever is pulled backward. The signal for the reverse light is routed from the SMG Control Module via the PT-CAN > SGM > K-CAN to the light module.
