Purpose and technical characteristics

The presented gearbox belongs to the Automatic transmissions category and has been designed with the specific requirements of the BMW i3 I01 electric drive in mind. The automatic design works in conjunction with the high-voltage system and vehicle control units, enabling precise power delivery, quiet operation, and predictable throttle response.

As an original BMW component, the transmission is optimized for mounting geometry, gear ratios, and integration with other drivetrain components. This ensures consistency in the drivetrain's operation and minimizes the risk of compatibility issues.

Automatic operation in an electric drive

The Automatic type in this gearbox model means that control is fully electronic, with no need for driver intervention in gear shifting. The transmission works with vehicle systems responsible for torque management, recuperation, and traction control, which results in:

• smooth acceleration and deceleration without jerking,
• stable transfer of the electric motor's high torque,
• consistent operation with safety and drive control systems.

Thanks to integrated control, the gearbox supports the driving dynamics characteristic of the BMW i3 while maintaining high comfort in both urban and suburban traffic.

Professional selection by numbers and compatibility

To ensure proper fitment for a specific version of the BMW i3 I01, it is crucial to verify compatibility using the OEM part number and available interchangeable numbers. The product has assigned technical identifiers (including OEM part number and Interchangeable numbers) that allow for precise verification using manufacturer catalogs or the vehicle's VIN.

In case of doubts regarding the selection of a used gearbox, it is worth using expert guidelines. A detailed discussion of selection procedures by VIN and OEM, as well as a practical comparison of the costs of new and used components, can be found in the article Why it is worth buying used gearboxes and engines – facts instead of myths, which helps in planning a drivetrain repair consciously.

Condition, installation advantages, and application

The offered gearbox is in Used condition, meaning it comes from an operational vehicle and represents a viable cost-effective alternative to new components. With proper selection and installation, it allows for the restoration of the drivetrain's efficiency while maintaining the factory characteristics of the transmission.

The main advantages of using this gearbox in the BMW i3 I01 include:

• preservation of the original BMW design concept for electric drive,
• compatibility with factory mounting points and accessories,
• ability to utilize the existing vehicle control architecture.

Such a solution facilitates workshop work, shortens installation time, and limits the need for additional modifications.
