How do I select the gear in my 2022 BMW iX and 2026 BMW iX?

The 2022 BMW iX and 2026 BMW iX offer a new gear selection system for operating the Steptronic transmission. To change gear, tilt the gear selector switch in the form of a rocker switch in the center console up or down to the desired position "P" (Parking), "N" (Neutral), "R" (Reverse), "D" (Drive) or "B" (Brake). The "B" gear position activates a permanently high recuperation level when releasing the accelerator pedal. This increases the deceleration effect by the electric motor and leads to a comfortable driving experience with the so-called "one pedal feeling".
