Transmission Weirdness

[Bismark]

ALWAYS START WITH THE BASICS. FIRST CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL ( ENGINE MUST BE RUNNING AND COLD TO WARM ). THIS A TYPICAL SYMPTOM OF A LOW FLUID CONDITION. AS THE CAR WARMS UP THE FLUID EXPANDS AND THE LEVEL IN THE PAN RISES. THEN IT DRIVES OK. I THINK IT IS LOW ON FLUID, AND THE FILTER IS SUCKING AIR FROM THE NECK.

i hate BMW x5 transmission,they jerky. But do a flush and filter change,wil ldramatically improve X5 shifting ;-) . And as far as delays it is a sign either of electric problem or software,or in worse case tranny is almost dead :-( Hurry do flush. Won't regret.
