Seems to be alot less If i drive in Sport mode but still persists if I lightly modulate the throttle. I recently cleaned the MAF and seems to be less of jerkyness but its still there. I might need a new tranny so I wanted to ask the board on who went ahead with a Tranny Fluid Change and noticed a difference? A local mechanic stated that my tranny is slipping and to do a flush and if it still does it then I will need a new tranny. He is not a BMW expert but right now I have nothing to lose because I cant tolerate the jerkyness. I have done some searches but most are about to do or not to do. Any input?
