Unhappy Am I just being crazy?

Ok so I've read the many posts about people with the jolting forward issue when rolling to a stop with the x5 and the software upgrade fix. My wife took the car to the dealer (I was out of town) and she couldn't replicate the "issue" and neither could the technician. They reset the transmission data but couldn't find any other issues. Till this day I still experience the "problem".

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
