Does it happen everytime you let go of the brakes? Just to recap a bit, after the brakes are being released while at a stand still, the car jerks and the steering vibrates as well. If that is the problem you are experiencing, try checking the suspensions' bush. I had the problem as mentioned above and it turned out to be that the rubber on the bush has got ripped. The whole bush had to be replaced. Refer to picture attached.. That was what caused my car to jerk after letting go of the brakes. Hope this helps.

My Ride: 2008 535i
i have a '08 535i and this happens to me at least 2 or 3 times a week so no one knows of a software upgrade or anything, because im pretty sure its a software problem not hardware
