How do I manually switch gears in a BMW X8?

I recently purchased a BMW X8 and I'm having trouble with the manual shifting. I'm used to automatic cars and I'm not sure how to properly switch gears on this model. Can anyone give me some advice or tips?

Don't worry, shifting gears on a BMW X8 is fairly simple. First, make sure that your foot is on the brake pedal. Then, use your right hand to push the gearshift lever to the left and down to enter manual shifting mode. From there, you can use the gearshift lever to select the desired gear. Just make sure to release the gearshift lever before accelerating.

I used to own a BMW X8 and I had the same problem when I first got it. My advice is to familiarize yourself with the gearshift lever and the location of each gear. It may also help to practice shifting while the car is stationary before trying it while driving.
