Noob checking in: 05 X5 4.4

[aleXi5]

Sup Guys,
I wanted to introduce myself and my new 05’ BMW 4.4 X5 w/ 96k Highland Green Metallic with Truffel Brown interior.

I want to try my hardest to prevent any type of failure with the X5. Any suggestions to upkeep my X5 is appreciated (I ended up financing for the next 5 years)

I am starting to feel my transmission acting up. For the past week, I've notice that in the morning the transmission is not working correctly. When it shifts to 2nd gear it jerks the X5 and I hear a thump noise. Occasionally, when I come to a complete stop, I can feel the car "downshift". But when the car is warm.. it seems like the X5 works completely fine.

Can someone please help me with this….I don't want to spend a arm and a leg and I want to prevent it from getting worse.

Thank you,
Calvin
