BMW should be embarassed and ashamed.
And if you don't believe me, go test drive a Ford Focus.

I totally believe you. Driven a lot of cars in the past and have never noticed a bad performing transmission until recently. Had a 2004 MB E320 that was absolutely horrible. It felt like the transmission didn't know what I wanted it to do. Heard the 7-speed put in after 2005 rectified this situation. Just hope my X5 won't be like that.
Does anyone know what transmission is being put into the X5's now?
