Am I just being crazy?
I'm using quotes because I'm starting to think maybe what I'm feeling is normal behavior and the wide known issue is more severe then what I'm experiencing. The only x5 I've ever driven is my own so I can't determine on my own if I have a real problem or not. I've driven many other automatic cars which dont display the behavior im having with my e70. But none were as heavy as the x5.. So I don't know if the weight of the x5 is what is causing the difference. My question for you guys is do you ever experience any sort of jolt/push forward when your car is rolling to a stop and downshifting (even if it is extremely minimal)? I notice the power of the push ranges from barely noticeable to "that didn't feel right". Is your transmission always silky smooth with no sudden movement or does what I'm experiencing sound normal? The problem is driving me so insane that EVERY time I stop I'm trying to replicate the issue and it doesn't always happen. This is absolute torture |

I had mine in for service the other day and had them look at the transmission as it was "hunting" when coming to a stop very discreetly. They found that there was a leak in the Mechatronic Sleeve in the transmission and replaced it. Apparently, that leak is fairly common.

Wish I could help. Never had that issue on my 35D. Its so frustrating to take the car to the dealer and they can't replicate the problem. I'm convinced its a lie from the dealer lol

No issue here with the tranny is normal mode. If it's in sport mode you'll feel the downshifts though.

Ok so it sounds like even if I can only reproduce a slight jump forward for the dealer that should be enough to prove there is a problem.
Thanks for all the input |

I have the same issue. It's when it shifts into first, when you come to a stop. It more pronounced when you try to stop easy, vs a more abrupt stop.
I just thought it was normal. |

I thought the X5 started in 2nd gear in normal mode? If I come to a complete stop then go to sport mode, I feel a slight jerk as the tranny downshifts to first. At least that's what I've always assumed it was doing.

Lots of info about your issue. I believe the consensus is that most have
found a way to live with it. It's just the nature of the beast. http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...ownshifts.html
