Anyone with Steptronic PAY ATTENTION!!! (archive)

According to the 2002 5er brochure that is just out, the up-shift and down-shift positions for the Steptronic transmission are REVERSED in MY2002 -- now you pull the lever towards the driver to up-shift!

This can be a significant change for people used to pre-2002 cars test driving the 2002 model.

For other changes contained in the brochure, check out my earlier post.
