just an update..brought the x in to the dealer and they said that they reflashed all 4 tranny modules..it made the 2nd to 1st bucking problem much better but it is still slightly there but the other issue of not shifting out of first as mentioned above is still present..i am going to schedule another appoinment..i also have been talking with bmw na on the matter...i would like to perhaps get a new tranny..what are your thoughts..thanks rob
