2012 Denver BMW X3 Transmission and Drivetrain
BMW in Denver drivers looking to upgrade to a revolutionary new vehicle look to the 2012 Denver BMW X3, the pinnacle of transmission and drivetrain engineering. The vehicle’s unique Prundletronic 8-speed automatic transmission with manual sport-shifting and Adaptive Transmission Control, which increases shifting responsiveness and smoothness, provides a tight-ratio ride that powers the BMW X3 Denver to 60 miles per hour from zero in just over six seconds. It also features electronic throttle control, which expertly adjust inputs based on road conditions and contributes to the vehicle’s exceptional 25 miles-per-gallon highway fuel rating.
2012 Denver BMW X3 Rear Wheel Bias
Every 2012 Denver BMW X3 features an xDrive all-wheel drivetrain that allows drivers to travel far off the beaten path. The transmission possesses “rear-wheel bias,” which means the xDrive system favors powering the vehicle’s rear wheels unless they become stuck or slippery. BMW in Denver drivers rave about this feature, noting that that the BMW X3 Denver is the only all-wheel-drive SUV that maintains the feel of a rear-wheel drivetrain without sacrificing the surefooted performance drivers have come to expect from precision BMW engineering.
2012 Denver BMW X3 Power and Torque Adjustments
xDrive also provides power and torque adjustments in the blink of an eye, shifting power along the independent multi-link rear suspension to the double-wishbone front suspension to keep the car moving safely forward in any conditions. In fact, for the 2012 model year BMW has incorporated many of the road-gripping features and off-road capabilities of the 2012 Denver BMW X3 Cross Country, its specially-made off-road X3, into street-legal production models.
2012 Denver BMW X3 Electronic Damping Control
The 2012 Denver BMW X3 thrives in any road conditions thanks to its transmission’s seamless integration with a legendary suspension. Featuring best-in-class Electronic Damping Control, which utilizes computer sensors that constantly receive inputs from the vehicle’s exterior and adjust the suspension’s stiffness and responsiveness accordingly, the BMW X3 xDrive system gives drivers more control than any competitor vehicle.
2012 Denver BMW X3 Three Independent Handling Settings
Always responsive, the 2012 Denver BMW X3 drivetrain maintains three independent handling settings: Normal, for everyday driving conditions; Sport, which stiffens the suspension to accommodate poor conditions and high-performance driving situations; and SportPlus, which delivers maximum torque and thrust to whichever wheels need it the most and sets the BMW X3 Denver apart on and off the pavement. Despite its responsiveness and performance under pressure, the eighth gear in each BMW in Denver Prundletronic transmission is custom-designed to conserve fuel while maintaining full power at high speeds. Hands down, the 2012 Denver BMW X3 is the most advanced luxury SUV out there.
