This covers E70 4.8i up to 10/08 production for a problem that was common with even the E53 X5. Glad it worked for you.

Took my vehicle in for oil and brake fluid service. Mentioned to the SA that there seems to be an transmission software update -- also described the jerkiness of the car at low speed.

Work that was performed: (exactly spelled out on the invoice)
SOFTWARE CALIBRATION. SIB 24 06 08 APPLIES.
VARIFIED COMPLAINT. CHECKED FAULTS. NONE STORED.
PERFORMED COMPLETE PROGRAMMING AND CODING PER SIB.

Result: It seems my gas paddle is not as sensitive -- at least from start. The power is still there, but it requires me giving a little more push on the paddle it seems -- the car is no longer "guessing" how much throttle/power to give... From my perspective, driving has definitely improved. Though I only have been driving since I picked it up afterwork. Let us know how yours update turn out!
