2005 BMW X5 3.0 transmission issues... Please help!!

[dkl]

You run 18" staggered wheels? What size tires are you using?

Did you use an OE BMW transmission filter? I did ran into shifting issues when I had an aftermarket transmission filter installed. Replacing it with a BMW Filtran filter solved all my shifting issues. Been trouble free for about 20K miles now with the BMW filter. Also, did you checked/verified that all the filter gaskets were removed with the old filter? Sometimes, a gasket may get left behind when the old filter is removed, causing the new filter not to sit flushed - this can cause shifting issues as well.

Did you have shifting issues before you changed the filter/oil or just after using an aftermarket one?
Yes, I got both oring gaskets out of it as I know what you mean because one was stuck up in the tranny and had to get a pick to get it out.
