After some discussions, BMW changed our gearbox for free.. Never heard any noises since the gearbox change...

Done 2,200 miles now and not noticed any jerk from autobox. My old 530d box however was awful. It held low gears especially downhill, when I wanted accelerate it wanted to slow down. Also on the motorway it would keep hitting 5th unless I selected M6.

Indeed - could be software version?

Merv - You have the 19's now? How are they?

Hi all.

My one-month-old 535d has a slight problem with the autobox: when I'm driving slowly downtown, at, to say 10-15 kmh, instead of switching gear as I ( very slowly ) accelerate it keeps the first gear longer than usual, revving it loudly and only after I hit 4000 rpm or so it changes to an higher gear. Not a big problem, but a bit annoying. Anybody else noticed the same problem?
