I had an incident the other day when the 4.8 was quietly accelerating and it just lept all of a sudden then stopped, it was like someone shoved 10kva up the gearbox WTF is going on with this cars electrics ?  |
Welcome to the wonderful world of BMW software programs. There are times, literally when the transmission jerks so hard, it physically hurts! Does the same on the '07 750Li. On the highway, the E70 (especially the 4.8i) is really superb. City driving, especially like you said, if you have passenger(s)...they think you don't know how to handle an accelerator, or you have "too much car" than you should. The '08 4.8i is the worst transmission I have ever had...and we've had a minimum of 25 new cars in the last 15 years (almost all BMW & Benz)!!
