Hello,
anyone have a idea why the car RPM bounces on morning start, on a e60 523i n52 automatic and only if the shift transmission is in park?
also i have notice delay in changing from 2 to 3 gear in the morning or after a long stay.
Not sure but i think is time for gearbox oil change

I certainly recommend changing transmission fluid. It's not an awful DIY but it is a very specific process and the car must be raised and level to do it. If you decide to DIY, make sure to loosen the fill plug before draining just in case it's stuck.
The bouncing RPM on start is a common issue with earlier N52 engines. I don't remember the details any more but I decided to let my '06 530xi bounce. It calms down in a minute or so.

Could also be the DISA air values. There are two of them from what I can see in your car. They adjust the air intake flow. Sometimes they stop functioning or the flap breaks off.

Try running some fuel injector cleaner through the fuel for about three tank fulls. This settled mine down but also told me that I needed to either get cleaned or replace my fuel injectors. I’m at 215,000 on mine.
