I've decided to just shift manually when going up hills now because it's really annoying.

Anybody else experience this and have a clue what this might be?

Thanks in advance for your input.
I had this issue on my '08 4.8. The dealer ran a transmission download report and supposedly sent it back to ZF in Germany. They determined there was a fault in the hill hold control or program. They reprogrammed it and it fixed it. This was done at BMW Seattle so they should know what is causing it and the fix for refrence if you go there. Good luck I know how annoying it is.
