2020 BMW 228i Gran Coupe

摘要

As I pulled up to the pay kiosk at my local drive-through car wash, I noticed a sign that read, "Tesla drivers, make sure you know how to put your vehicle in neutral before entering car wash." I smiled, assuming many Teslas must have struggled to enter the wash before management decided to hang the sign. Fast-forward two minutes, and the 228i and I were also struggling as we entered the wash tunnel's conveyor tracks. The attendant motioned for me to put the vehicle in neutral, but try as I might, the BMW's gear selector kept toggling from drive to reverse and back again. I got nervous, rolled the window down, apologized to the agent, and then told him I've found neutral before, but for some reason the secret sauce to dropping the transmission into "N" now eluded me.
