Transmission Reprogrammed
 

I just had my X5 serviced (Oil Change and Progman V25.2 update) and I am noticing a big change in the transmission.

My service receipt says:

"ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WERE REPROGRAMMED, LINE 10"
and
"ENGINE WAS REPROGRAMMED FOR LINE 10"

What does this mean?

Overall it seems like a big improvement, much more responsive. But it appears my gas mileage has dropped. Need more time to tell for sure.

is the transmission still jerky .... because i never saw an automatic

that changes gears like the e70 ... i absoulutley love the e70 but

the transmition is really annoying , but perfect for high speed... i once

got out of my car and i took a ride with a friend in his range rover and

could never tell when the car changed gears withought looking at the rpm

yes mine is very smooth

You mentioned in another thread that you felt DS mode was now "too soft" since the reprogramming. Do you still feel that way?

I dont know if DS feels too soft or its just that there isnt such a big difference between the two anymore. The more I drive it the more I loke the changes. Standard mode is much improved. Ds seems fine now that I've driven more...unfortunatley traffic has been so bad I have not been able to really try it out. I am on a road trip next week and will have a better feel.
