Hi all. First i would like to say that i am a newbie when it comes to cars and bimmers.
Trying to educate myself by reading up but it's hard to acquire years of knowledge in months.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Anyway i have a questions. I drive an E36 316i auto. The transmission is as follows:
1, 2, 3, D, N, P
Next to it is a switch:
M(anual), E(conomy), S(port)
I have the manual but it's not very detailed.
Till now, i have been driving on D. And i think it's quite a waste if i don't utilise all the options available to me.
Could anyone explain the gears 1, 2, 3 to me, and in what situations should i use them?
Also, i understand that flicking the switch to S provides for a "sportier drive" (according to the manual). But if i flick the switch to M, how should i use it?
I really appreciate if someone experienced can shed some light on this for me. Thanks guys!
