No,I've been told it will improve things but I don't think it's the main issue. BMW reset something for me last time and it was fixed but it only lasted 4 a while. Tried the 25 sec trick, never worked for me that well.

wow this has been bugging you for so long. why don't you bring it back to BMWHK and let me fix it for you again? you can ask them what they did to your car as well.

even though I sound quite annoyed by this, the jerky gear change isnt really that bad with day to day town driving but when I really want to push the car round bends, it could be dangerous.

although the service and parts are pricey, its much better service than Audi and MB,
i esp don't like DCH, they charge for oil changes which never happen.
lets guess which bodykit Capt Evil gets, he's the man

actually you are right bill. I am generally very happy with the car and bmwhk service, other than this jerky gearbox problem as mentioned + wish they could get the service completed in 1 day rather than 2.
