Anyway, the X5M drove awesome afterwards. I drained and replaced 75% of the transmission fluid and the car wasn't shifting right for a few weeks. It is now almost back to normal. The sudden jerks from start and low speed upshifts are almost gone.

Going on a 450 miles road trip with a few tennis buddies to compete in the USTA nationals next month. Hope the truck drive well and don't let me down!

Fingers crossed!
