Structure of the automatic transmission

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The dual-mass flywheel with the integrated centrifugal pendulum is securely connected with the combustion engine. The connection to the automatic transmission is performed via slip-on gearing.

The larger electrical machine and the additional torsional vibration damper mean that the housing of the GA8P75HZ automatic transmission is extended by 30 mm.

The hybridized scopes for the automatic transmission can be divided into the following components:

The multidisc clutch B is reinforced. This is necessary since it must also permit driving off and crawling of the vehicle in addition to its function as a shift element.
