WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 43 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW M3, 2006 BMW 330Ci, 2006 BMW 325Ci, 2005 BMW M3, and 2005 BMW 330xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The GS 20 adaptive transmission control feature automatically selects suitable shifting programs based on driving style, selected range, monitored signal activity and road/environmental conditions. Advantages to the AGS shift control include:
- Shift points adapted to the driving style.
- Improved safety - no unwanted up shifting while in a tight curve.
- Automatic determination and selection of the winter program for better driveaway traction and reduced shift activity.
- Improved comfort - starting in second gear in stop and go traffic.
The AGS can be divided into two functional groups:
- Driver influenced features.
- Features that react automatically to the driving style and environmental conditions.
