Weasel, is that what you're thinking?

I find myself having to put the X5 in Sport mode since during the normal mode, the transmission shifts too soon to the higher gear. I found this to be the same for our 750i.

The location I notice this trouble most is when I have to slow to make a hard left turn with a slight incline. Then a stop sign followed by another hard left a quite a steep incline that levels out to smaller inclines up the the hills about 2 miles.
