Ok me & my cousin have been working on his 325i so much & still trying to solve this problem..When we put his car into (P) Park the car jerks & shakes, or even when i go from Park to Drive it sometimes jerks to, also one more thing when we shut his car off Check coolant level comes on, seems weird, i'm either thinking its the coolant level sensors but im pretty sure it's not just 1 problem, but could someone give me some pointers to what may be causing the jerking thanks?

I mean this is my older cousins car, has 2 kids, and married, doesn't have time to be racing around fast or nothing, just family car, he has his race car...& you guys are so funny how you guys call automatics slushboxes, let me tell you all something, fastest cars in the world are basically automatic so if you are guys are drag racers then yeah talk all you want but go on domestic forum & you'll be laughed at lol, but if your road racers & autoX feel free whatever you wanna say...

Can't you see that no one cares? Your questions are retarded.
Automatics jerk when you put them into park. Its normal. Shut up.
Check the coolant level. If you can't figure out what to do after this sell you car.
And stop being a prick.

Sure straightline cars are automatic and fast but that's stupid, look at any race car that is made for handling and speed and they will NOT have automatic slushboxes. Either manual 5/6spd or some sort of SMG/paddle shift (hydraulic controlled manual).
Race his auto 325 vs a stick 325 and you'll be blown away. I realize he's just using it for commuting but you brought up the whole racing topic.
Maybe have the fluid in the torque converter flushed/replaced?

It wasn't a stupid answer, the 'problem' you describe is normal on autos. Seriously the only thing to do to get rid of that is get a manual, so just live with the jerk. As M52 Power said, you might want to replace the fluid in the tranny, that might make it act a little better, but you're still most likely going to have some sort of jerk.
I have an auto too, I use the car to travel so I don't want a manual, similar to your cousin. I know a manual would be some more fun, but thats not what I primarily use my car for, and I know that. I don't need to get angry every time someone reminds me a manual is more fun or better in some cases to drive than an auto, neither should you, take it with a grain of salt.

Thanks for great comment & thanks for help guys & sorry about my shitty mood, been having some family depression so i'm a lil on ill side right now. Well we did transmission service on the car & flushed the whole entire car & his coolant is perfect because i know that was the first thing we checked. I mean, would something like the driveshaft have something to do with it? But after reading most of the threads seems like the big thing on BMW's is sensors just constantly going out, but i know it has nothing to do with any sensor from what i'm aware of.
