20 inch Staggered GFG Wheels--Soon to be powder Coated
Yesterday the car was driving very funny....I t was shifting by itself sitting a light between 2 and 3rd and lunging back and forth. I turned it off and restarted then put it in gear and we went no where, just the engine was revving.......
Does anyone have any ideas on this...Took it to BMW and they said nothing was wrong this morning.....

No clue.
Sounds like some software/TCU glitch. Being that its a safety concern I think I'd be quite forward with the dealership in finding the issue and resolving it.

I took it to a authorized BMW repair shop in town after the dealer said nothing was wrong with it and they advised it was the clutch slipping......
