Hope all is well with you guys, I have a shifting / transmission question for those of you that have this same car. I was wondering brand new how the transmission and gear shifting should be in this vehicle. I am thinking that mine is shifting sort of rough.....not really that smooth all the time. I have read that the transmission shifts a little rough in this model but would like to here it from the pros....what I can do or if this is factual. Everything is stock on my car and its time for a oil change. A few of my friends told me if there is no code or anything BMW will say there is nothing to diagnose or give me an excuse to whats going on. I do know this is the smallest engine they offer in a 5 series and that it is a all wheel driver.....but I wouldn't think it would take away from the overall smooth shifting of my car....please help me out....:redspot

the transmission shifts via computer on an adaptive method. In other words it learns the way you drive, and adjusts accordingly. Sometimes this doesnt adapt the way you like . That said there is a reset procedure to start over.
Google: bmw transmission reset - for a good procedure. It is harmless and works.
