It seems like BMW knows about the problem, but doesn't want to release an "official" TSB on it. I had the same transmission hesitation when accelerating from a rolling stop on my 3.0i and it magically went away after a complaint and a dealer visit...but my dealer denied doing anything to it...weird Seems like they want to keep things quiet about it.

X5Jay asked what the specifics were on the upgrade but when I called the service advisor to ask (my work order had some BS on it, nothing specific) he said they just plug it in and see what comes up If I didn't feel the difference, I'd think they were blowing smoke up my arse, but the shifting is so much smoother now and no rear end feeling bangs. Sorry I can't tell you more.
