The BMW X3 has been a pioneer in the sports segment of the SUV (sport utility vehicles) within the average range. Now comes the second generation to dealers. With the gearbox 8-speed automatic or a 6-speed ZF completely redesigned, the new X3 allows a comfortable and dynamic change at the same time. The two gearboxes can be combined with start-stop function automatically (Stop / Go). If this function is used in combination with 8-speed automatic transmission can save up to 11 percent of fuel off the automatic gearbox 6-speed second generation.

With over 600,000 units sold, the BMW X3 has become a real bestseller. In addition, to remain so for the second generation has prepared new transmissions and chassis technology. Especially the version with six-cylinder engine line and three-liter, thanks to a turbocharger reaches 225 kW, develops a more dynamic sport with acceleration. However, the diesel engine Common-rail injection with its 135 kW benefits from the automatic gearbox 8 relations, which combines smooth gear changes and harmonics with high efficiency and fuel savings of approximately six percent.

In addition, BMW equips all versions of the new SUV with a start-stop function automatically. A pulse accumulator combines for the first time this function with the automatic transmission 8-speed, significantly contributed to the overall reduction in fuel consumption of up to 17 percent. During startup, the pulse accumulator provides hydraulic oil to the necessary elements of gear so that you can keep driving with the usual dynamism, as in a vehicle without start-stop function. During periods with the engine off saves about 5% fuel.
