Switch control.

Gear selector in the BMW X5.

The new BMW X5 comes with a completely new electronic gear selector switch. Modern and sporty in design, its ergonomic shape makes it simple to operate. The left-hand shift gate operates the sports automatic mode to allow semi-automatic changes between the six gears. The right-hand shift gate controls the usual fully automatic settings: Drive (D), Neutral (N) and Reverse (R). Park (P) is now activated by pressing a button on the gear selector switch.
