I have a question (sorry just joined and I'm not sure how to post a fresh question)... I bought my 04 X5 less than a year ago with 137,000, runs strong, in great shape all but Transmission, keeps going into limp mode after a hard shift, very random so can't rely on it as everyday driver, been using tiptronic, but not sure if I can drive it that way always or if thats meant for temporary use during certain wether conditions... Help, i'm hoping theres a fix and I don't need to replace/rebuild my tranny...
