Wow just wanted to say thanks to the original poster for this update everyone should chip in and get this guy a bottle of Don Julio. It took them almost the entire day to install the new software but it was well worth the wait. My transmission was so bad in my 2008 4.8i that within the first 100 miles after I bought my X5 from the dealership I brought it back thinking it was defective. They said it was because the vehicle is new will adapt and all that bs and up until today my transmission was still jerky with almost 10,000 miles on it. This software makes the transmission silky smooth and almost seems like it gives you extra power when accelerating. I bitched and complained so much about the transmission that BMWNA was going to buy back my X5 since this was my only complaint. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the transmission stays this way after the software update but anyone with this issue bring your X5 in and get this done today don't wait any longer.

Well I put my X into my stealer, (Harry Fairbairns) in Glasgow for the u/g last Thursday, and I insisted the receptionist knew what service bulletin I was referring to before I dropped the phone, so that I knew the job was going to get done
 rather than them make some excuse and send it back without it being done, as it was also in for an oil service and brake fluid service too. Anyway I left the two bulletins on the passenger seat that I got off the forum here, just incase the numb nuts engineers didnt know what I was on about . The receptionist assured me I was being paranoid, and that all their techs are fully qualified blah .. blah ... and I was unimpressed, but said ok I'll leave it with you Guess what, I got phoned on Thursday to say 'hey' your car is ready , so I asked if the transmission upgrade was done ok and the service dude said 'what upgrade ?' ..... Grr .. he came back after 3 minutes and said they could not do it because their was a problem with Germany's IT systems and no updates could presently be completed , so like the good natured car owner I am, I left it till next day, then I got a call saying that the car told them it needed a new 'ecu' so I said ok, and assumed it was dealer speak for ' uuhh we dont have the reprogramming computer its out on loan' Saturday morning came and they phoned to say that they fitted the new ecu, but now the car said there was a problem with the ipod unit during the upgrade, as it expected to see a CD unit fitted instead and the upgrade would not complete ........  Today (Monday) I have got it back, and I have to say its a really big improvement  No more excessive down shifts , or holding ratios for too long .. its not perfect, but boy is it better no more sudden jolts or jerks.Good job to this forum and the OP Cheers
