What's the difference between today’s semi-automatic and automatic transmissions?
I've been wondering lately what truly the differences are between semi-automatic and fully automatic. I know that they both work a bit differently, and that back in the days only a semi-automatic would allow the driver to change gears manually, but nowadays, especially in BMWs we are also able to put our ZF-autos into manual mode, even with optional paddleshifters.
So what are the main differences nowadays between them for the driver?
Thanks,
