Funny Idle/braking at full stop

[DesertRat]

So we've had our 2005 X5 4.4i sport for 7 months. Love the car. But it seems to be very sensitive on the breaking when you come to a full stop. It is like it surges just as you near full stop. The end result is a sudden/quick stop which less than smooth/gradual.

Has anyone had this problem? If so, what could it be? An idle sensor?

Thanks in advance,

I hope this is right, I too have the same problem. My car will do it in park too.

Also sounds like the infamous "transmission slam" try searching for that...

Transmission slam is when the gearbox seems to change into first gear with a thump just after, or as you stop. I have found that it gets worse when I baby the car and the adaptive transmission sets itself into a very relaxed mode and does not select first quckly enoungh when you are slowing down. Thrash it a bit, or drive in sport mode for a while and it may clear itself...

I have a 2005 3.0D (had it for two weeks) and have this issue, as I like to brake slowly, not hard when pulling up to lights.

The first time it happened, I thought someone hit me from behind.

Now, i have some research to do since I know what it is.

Thanks,
