hi all..just my 2 cents..i think quicksilver has the right idea but i dont know if we have enough for a class action lawsuit but i would love to try...this is my first bimmer and to be honest it has not been a good experience so far..it is a 2005 4.4 purchased cpo in august/2008 with 14k miles..the problem i have with my tranny is that when i start it after sitting for a long period of time especially overnight i let i warm up for about a minute then drive away slowly to allow the tranny to warm up the car bucks so i have to let up on the gas and give it gas again to smooth it out..other problem is if i use the car for lets say a few hours run some errands then shut it down for a few hours then go out again the car will not shift until it warms up again so i have to drive slow below 2000 rpm until tranny warms up again then it shifts..no other car i have owned has had these tranny issues.especially once the car has been driven for awhile and i reuse it after a couple of hours i coluld see if it sat for several hours..it becomes a pain in the ass especially in the winter because if it sits for a couple of hours in the cold the tranny wont shift until it has warmed up..i had it reflashed at the dealer but it did nothing...when i get into my honda yes in the morning the tranny needs to warm up especially in the winter but once i use it throughout the day it becomes a non issue..sorry for the long winded post but i feel a 60k vehicle when new should not have these issues..i would definetly enjoy giving bmw some grief....thanks rob
