I?ve been talking to my SA about this (I?ve had it in twice to see if they could fix it, they can?t). And as it turns out they have two other people complaining (loudly) about the same problem (good for me, I?m not the only one that my SA is hearing it from). Last week they escalated to BMW and I got a call yesterday saying they were getting special software in today to fix the problem. I asked if the software was simply an upgrade to the overall software or something specific for the tranny?she commented that it was just for the tranny. They?re trying it another car first and I?ll be making my appt on Tues to bring the car in?fingers crossed it?ll work.
She did make the comment that X5?s had a similar problem a while back and that was eventually fixed via software?

Hey all, just wanted to add that I have a '05 545i sport built 3/2005 and delivered in 4/2005 in the Northeast US. My car came with 16.2 from the factory, so I can't speak about earlier versions. Anyway, I notice this SLAM problem mostly when I don't fully come to a stop at stop signs (yeah, I should totally stop but whatever), and I barely tap the accelerator. Of course, this doesn't happen at every non-fully-stopped stop sign, so I can't reproduce it 100%. But, those are the only times it has happened to me... never during a turn or what not.
Any updates to software for us U.S. people yet? I'll call my dealership tomorrow and ask them if they know anything (although I'm pretty sure they'll say I'm the first to call in about it).

I was digging around on the web and found this: http://www.thelurch.com/lurching_zf_transmission.htm
It seems the ZF 6HP26 has had this problem for some time. Let's hope 17.1 is a real fix for it.
