I do have a service appointment to check out my parking brake. I don't think it's holding correctly. I've been parking on a sloped driveway. With my foot on the brake, I engage the parking brake, take my foot off the brake pedal and shift into park. All is well until I shut off the engine. Then I jerk back. Me no like...I feel like I'm going to go through the garage door. I'll ask them to check out the shifting too. I'm using the same settings.
I can't wait until the weather warms up, I miss those monster tires.

They will get it sorted out for you. Sounds like maybe you need a brake adjustment because that jerk back should not be happening. The vibration must be related to the tires or wheels (possibly a bent rim?) because you are not experiencing the problem with your winter setup. Nice to join the small xM family here. I have been a lurker on xoutpost for years and remember when you started with your first x5 (and your username was cmyx5go) and watched as you and others (Kyzersoze, alexmish and some others I cannot remember) slowly moved up from the 6 cylinder models to 8 cylinders and, in your case, moved onto x6 from x5. I took an x hiatus for about 7 years so I have not been around here since circa 2006 and recently decided to get back into an x after falling in love with the x5m/x6m (needed another SUV and wanted an M5 so x5M was the perfect solution). I pondered the Cayenne Turbo and the ML63, but my love for BMW won over.
