The new BMW M6 is one of the most beautiful BMW’s ever made. The aggressive style dominates each body panel, showing that underneath the sporty silhouette, there is beast powered by the S63Tu twin turbo V8 high-revving engine with an amazing output of 560 horsepower and 680 NM of torque. A new element of design, is the rear trunk spoiler, which probably generates more down force at high speeds.
I am looking into the new 2008 BMW 135i. But I’m a little confused with the steptronic transmission. With the steptronic transmission option, is the car at all like a manual car (i.e clutch, manual shifting without using the steering wheel)? My friend had a 2003 BMW 330Li that was an automatic, but had the Tiptronic so he COULD shift manually if he wanted to. Is the new BMW 135i going to be an automatic first, manual second? I want a standard manual car with the OPTION to use the steering wheel to shift (without the clutch), but I want it to be a manual car First. And what is the difference between Tiptronic and Steptronic? Thanks.
