Yes, my 2008 4.8i has a really rough transmission (as does our 2007 750Li). Sometimes it jerks/pulls so hard, it feels like whiplash. I've noticed that in general the transmission is rough, holds gears too long, downshifts almost violently when going up a steep grade and generally gives abrupt/rough gear changes. Besides from the non-heat resistant front windshield, the transmission is the most disappointing feature of my 4.8i.

So the problem being described here is directed when the car in on some kind of grade, correct? or does it occur on flat surfaces to?
Just curious. About what percent is this problem occuring? 100% of the time or much less frequent? Is this different from the lag often talked about with the X5 transmission? |

I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem, If the tranny was like the one in my E60 I would be extremely happy.

I have a steep hilly road going up to my house, as I live about 1.5 miles up & into a large canyon/mountain area. My transmission does it EVERY time. I wish it was only 60% of the time! While going up the hill, I know the transmission must downshift for power, but the transmission will practically knock your teeth out. I also really dislike how it will hold the transmission in 2nd gear, at about 4500 RPM for a LONG time. Gee, wonder why I get 6mpg!!!
