I'm sure that it is quite possible I am just blind and can't find a thread already in existance, and if there is one then I appologize, but I do have a question. I only just bought my Ti, and when I got it, the guy I bought it off of (he being a shorter term second owner) told me about all he knew about the car (which wasnt much, luckily I had this site to do a little reading up about them) but he had mentioned this switch by the shifter, it has an "A" and an "M" (see attached picture) he said it had to do with switching between manual and auto. but he never really tried it out him self, so I assumed it was simmilar to the sport-tronic or triptronic or w/e those transmissions are called, (but theres no space to move it over from auto to manual) so I'm wondering how this works exactly? Also there is no clutch peddle so I dont know how a "manual" option would work? any and all information would be helpful... thank you | | | 03-25-2010, 08:31 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Wisconsin Posts: 1,895 | __________________ ... ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ | | | 03-25-2010, 08:32 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Minneapolis Posts: 1,587 | The "M" basically locks the car in whatever gear you have selected. D = 4th, 3 = 3rd and so on. For example: If you are stopped and put the car in "2" and push "M", the car will start off in sencond gear. I never found it very useful. Driving in the "3" position (without "M" selected) though was good. It's kind of a sports mode. It changes the shift points for a more sporty personality. Upshifts are delyed, etc....

I'd exit the freeway, hit a stoplight and then start to accelerate away. The 318ti doesn't pull too hard in 4th gear from a stop | | | 03-25-2010, 09:03 PM | #6 | Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Winnipeg Canada Posts: 45 | haha, thats good to know, i hope i dont forget as well, but im hoping to make it a 325Ti sometime soon, i have a fairly cheap M50 engine lined up, with all the extras, as long as it doesnt sell before i can get a hold of it, i'll be doing the swap hopefully before spring is over | | | 03-25-2010, 09:29 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Atlanta Posts: 233 | That thing is totally useless. I think someone had a bright idea but didn't quite bring it all home when production time came around. | | | 03-25-2010, 09:31 PM | #8 | Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Winnipeg Canada Posts: 45 | the transmission? or the M50? | | | 03-25-2010, 09:48 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Atlanta Posts: 233 | Quote: Originally Posted by TroyWagner the transmission? or the M50? | Hah, sorry, the A/M button on the auto transmission. The M50 is definitely not useless. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
