I figure waiting won't make much difference, unless they put in a completely different transmission for a later year model. This problem does sound like something that should be fixed with a software update, right?
The thing about test drives at dealers is that they are too short.

Despite this annoying problem, I would totally recommend the E70. I love the car. And yes, this is definitely something a software update will be able to fix.
I have a very good contact in my dealers service department so I am going to see what happens, even a tranny re-flash should help somewhat.
And I can confirm that from driving my 4.8 today that the problem is definitely intermittent.
