Since the first cars, manual transmissions have been preferred by motorists for the style of driving, the way it makes a luxury car feel as well as the way the cars ride. According to an article by CarAdvice.com, BMW is doing away with manual gearboxes and making automatic transmissions standard in all classes of sedan, SUV and specialized car.
According to the recent report, the shift to automatic BMW transmissions has been going on for quite some time as Europe is moving towards the uptake of automatic transmission. 98.5 percent of all the BMW cars sold in Australia alone have come with automatic transmissions, largely because of the benefits of the newly updated transmission models. Lower fuel transmissions, faster shifting times and a much smoother ride. Experts at BMW believe that manual gearboxes have reached a point where they will actually hinder the performance of the car along with greatly damaging the fuel economy. International BMW manual sales have decreased to 1 out of every 4 cars sold. Strangely, in North America the market demand had BMW put a six-speed gear manual transmission in the same model of car that has seen much decline in manual transmissions abroad.
