When I get around to it will definitely post some pics...to help myself and hopefully the rest of the X5 community

Dannyell, were you able to tackle this yourself?
if you did, could you shed some insight? (links to additional posts?)

i too now have the occasional reverse slip
slips only under throttle. if idle, the car will creep in reverse.
now i always park in a inclined spot.

thanks Swissfrank also for your post. i would have never purchased the BMW if i didn't have the forum community

Haven't gotten to it and most likely won't any time soon

I have gotten used to the 'inclined sports' heheh so no problems so far...it is getting colder outside and it seems to be getting worse with weather as well but nothing a longer warm-up cant fix.

dang, that was 4.5 years ago. so your F piston has been compromised and you have been driving like that?

sounds like this is not an urgent issue. or am i wrong?
if the F piston seal is bad, are we going damage by not repairing it?
