They said it was because the vehicle is new will adapt and all that bs and up until today my transmission was still jerky with almost 10,000 miles on it. This software makes the transmission silky smooth and almost seems like it gives you extra power when accelerating. I bitched and complained so much about the transmission that BMWNA was going to buy back my X5 since this was my only complaint. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the transmission stays this way after the software update but anyone with this issue bring your X5 in and get this done today don't wait any longer.
