Just got back from France. This time the nice guy in the hire car office gave me a BMW 1 series.
I've never been a BMW fan, no reason / dislike, just not appealed to me.
Anyway, model in question was a 116d sport auto.
Firstly I was surprised how much I liked it, but I wasn't sure what type of autobox it has. Its a new 8 speed steptronic box which changes gear effortlessly with no perceptible change other than the rev counter dropping, but on a couple of occasions at roundabouts it wasnt as smooth as I would have expected.
I had a quick look and couldn't work out it its a proper torque converter, or some kind of automated manual? anyone know?
