s Standard equipment o Optional equipment
o Park Distance Control uses ultrasonic
sensors in the rear bumper to help you judge
the distance to other cars and unseen objects
when parking. The beeping becomes faster as
your bumper approaches the object, turning
into a constant tone when the distance is less
than 12 inches.
s Three-spoke leather-wrapped multi-
function sport steering wheel lets you
keep both hands on the wheel while adjusting
various comfort functions, such as controls
for audio system, cruise control and hands-
free phone controls.
o Navigation system features a high-
resolution, glare-free monitor. Using GPS
satellites in conjunction with data stored on
an internal hard drive, a choice of detailed
maps show – and tell – the directions to your
desired destination. In many areas, it also
provides Real Time Traffic Information on
potential traffic problems along your route,
and can even plan a detour around them.
s / o Steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters allow you to shift gears manually without a
clutch. In the 135i Coupe, they are included with the optional 7-speed Double Clutch Trans-
mission (DCT). Optional steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters are automatically added in
the 128i Coupe when equipped with optional STEPTRONIC automatic trans mission and either the
Sport Package or M Sport Package. Shown: the three-spoke, leather-wrapped multi-function
M sport steering wheel.
o 6-speed STEPTRONIC automatic
trans mission provides the 128i Coupe
with a choice of three modes: “Drive,” which
incorporates BMW’s Adaptive Transmission
Control; “Sport” automatic, for a more
dynamic shift pattern; and STEPTRONIC
automatic, for the hands-on control of a
manual without using a clutch.
o 7-speed Double Clutch Transmission
(DCT) with steering wheel-mounted paddle
shifters in the 135i provides smooth, lightning-
quick gear changes by automatically shifting
between two transmission structures: while
one gear is disengaging, the next is already in
position. The result is quicker acceleration and
enhanced fuel efficiency. Shift gears manually
via steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters or
by moving gear selector lever forward/rearward.
