2000 BMW Z8FACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Kick Fast Feature

Based on these inputs, the AGS will select one three different driving programs as follows:

  • Extreme Economy - Shift points are a low speeds for maximum comfort and economy
  • Economy - The shift points are raised for more performance with economy as priority
  • Sport - The shift points are higher to take advantage of full engine performance.

    Under full throttle acceleration at high speed, single gear downshifts are possible. A two gear downshift is possible if the accelerator pedal is moved quickly to kick-down. The Extreme Sport program was eliminated as part of the kick-fast feature.
