That shifting is totally normal until it is warmed up enough for BMW.


I have Rod Sutphin's transmission tune (v2) and he does eliminate that cold start shift. Highly suggest looking into a trans tune if you want to eliminate or ease that cold shift.


In comparison, my E90 is much worse and seems harsher during that cold start phase. I never did anything tune wise though and all fluids were replaced as well.
