resistance when rolling-out/step off gas

[Big "J"]

Probably need to replace the whole caliper as well as rotors and pads. Replace all your brake fluid, bleed it entirely.

A) longshot, have you checked for a warped rotor?

B) if it is really the sticky caliper, then you will have to change the caliper, i just got mine changed .. went with Orig. BMW w/ labor was $560 at indie. the BMW caliper was $360 part i think. This being a safety issue I didnt skimp by going the remanufactured route ... but you can save a lot going to rmfd.

best of luck!

Unfortunately I have had some difficulty in obtaining trans fluid from my stealer, apparently they will only sell it to shops or wholesale. I'm working on getting it from a different source but until then I won't know if changing the fluid and filter will help. As for your suggestion about the brakes, I sort of wish it were that simple but I know that it's not, simply due to the fact that "sticky" brakes cannot effect transmission shift points. Even if the brakes were slowing the car down the transmission would still shift normally, not rev higher. I'm going to have the dealer do a software update and reset and see if this helps.
