2016 BMW X1 FD Concept Design Pictures

Having alien its aboriginal front-wheel drive products, a address in BMW Blog says that BMW is developing a dual-clutch manual to use in some of those vehicles. If that is the case again BMW would be communicable up to its competitors, with Mercedes-Benz application its 7G-DCT in models like the CLA, and Audi putting its six-speed S-tronic in the A3 and seven-speed S tronic in the A6. Acura and Hyundai use dual-clutch gearboxes in their archetypal calendar as well.

Right now the alone self-shifting advantage in the front-wheel-drive-based BMW X1 is an Aisin-sourced eight-speed automatic, the one we declared as "perfectly accomplished but not a standout" that requires "some prodding to allure a downshift." The eight-speed action manual will be an advantage in backward 2016, but its paddle shifters and quicker gearchanges still will not be according to a DCT.

That closing achievability would accord BMW a sportier access of development if it did ambition to actualize something absolutely able-bodied out of the X1 – BMW Blog muses on an X1 M40i or an X1 M (you should be accomplished the point of shock if this happens). The Mini ambit could aswell benefit, the JCW trims currently adapted with a six-speed action automated getting accessible candidates. Assuming Munich engineers are on the case, it is predicted that we will not see this manual for at atomic two years.
