When I did that to mine the problem stopped for a few days but then returned. That I how I got ZF to suggest rebuilding the valvebody.

Any updates on this? My father is convinced the X5 is going to die and leave him on the side of the road. This despite the fact that the problem is very intermittent and does not affect any of the other gears
