Purpose and technical specifications

The presented gearbox belongs to the BMW automatic transmissions group dedicated to i3 I01 models in the hybrid version with a Rex module. The design is integrated with the electric-combustion system, which allows for smooth torque transfer and optimal use of the drive in both urban and extra-urban conditions.

Automatic transmission control ensures repeatable, predictable gear shifts without the need for driver intervention, which is particularly important in hybrid vehicles, where cooperation with the drive electronics is crucial for energy efficiency and driving comfort.

Benefits of using an original BMW gearbox

Using an original gearbox in the BMW i3 I01 allows for the maintenance of factory drivetrain operating parameters. As a result:

• proper cooperation with the hybrid control systems and the Rex generator is maintained,
• the acceleration and energy recovery characteristics intended by the manufacturer are preserved,
• the risk of software and controller compatibility issues is minimized,
• the need for additional mechanical or electrical modifications is reduced.

For the user, this means stable, predictable operation and the ability to restore the vehicle to full efficiency after a failure of the previous transmission. Choosing a used, original gearbox is often a favorable compromise between costs and maintaining a high level of quality.

Condition, verification, and fitment

The offered gearbox is a used component, which in practice means it has been dismantled and verified for suitability for further use. Such components are frequently chosen by workshops specializing in BMW and electric vehicles because they allow for economical repair while maintaining the original design of the drivetrain.

Before purchasing, it is recommended to confirm the compatibility of the gearbox with the specific version of the BMW i3 I01 (production year, drive variant, Rex configuration) based on the VIN number and the vehicle's technical data. Correct fitment of the transmission has a direct impact on proper cooperation with the control electronics and the durability of the entire system.
