I've got 249.6k miles on my X5, last 35k on it have been deleted and tuned, including trans tune.

Any noticeable same conditions when it holds? Same part of a commute or uphill? Mine has always annoyingly held gears when going even slightly uphill under certain conditions. Even after dealer replacement under warranty for other reasons the same condition persisted. That and the annoying jumpy launch under certain hot weather conditions.

I think people are talking about the warm up procedure, where it tends to hold second gear a lot longer than seems appropriate when the engine is cold

Either way, sounds like a Trans tune could make you happier. It's on my list, so no personal experience to share at this point unfortunately..

I have certain uphills that are a bit brutal when the trans is in cold no lockup mode, that I drive nearly every day. Then in warmed up, normal mode, I mostly don't have issues with the sutphin tune. there's one particular place where I wish it would shift up and load up on some boost, but it's kind of on the edge of the lower torque limits in 3rd gear so I get why it doesn't. It's a sharp uphill turn that I'd bog 3rd in a manual tranmission, but an auto refuses to bog through at 1000 rpm.
