Hello I have notice that my 2005 545i when I started up it hesitates it feels like it is struggling and shutting down the rpms go down and back up, like is choking i have to accelerate a little bit sometimes to get it going good and then sometimes when i try to accelerate the car hesitates again like it is choking. I am in Chicago and right now the weather is getting nice and warm. I keep the car garage but I dont know whats going on does anyone have any idea before i take it in for service.

You might try the 25 second accelerator trick to reset the transmission! Its free and the results are instantaneous...okay 26 seconds, but who's counting??
