Hi,

I have a 2003 e53 x5 4.4i. A few days ago i started experiencing problems that appear to be the transmission. I will come to a stop (it happens more when i come to a fast stop) and the car will want try to switch gear and sort of lunge forward. Also when i start to accelerate off a stop the engine will rev (once it went up to 4000rpms) and it will be totally disconnected from the transmission and then all of a sudden it will catch and the car will be back in gear and the wheels will squeak a bit. My indie says it needs another transmission. I have heard stories where it ended up being the computer or something else. Anyone have any suggestions? I live in Los Angeles. It is such an expensive repair! Help!

Thanks

Sean
