If it feels like somebody hit you from behind.. No, that's not a feeling I've had in the X5M.. But have definitely felt that in BMW's before. For example, in my BMW 750i and in my X5 4.8is, I would say at least once a week a downshift would literally feel like someone just rammed us from behind. Scared the shit out of me more than a few times.
Hope it doesn't exist in the new models.

I experienced a rather premature down shift(not so abrupt to classify as a rear end)in sport mode as well. I have been using the car in manual mode as I feel the regular mode of auto prematurely upshifts and lugs the engine. I find myself driving in the 6th gear around town. So at least for now while I am trying to break the thing in, manual mode it is
