Hey guys,
I've got an 04 530i, SMG, and have been running into this problem I can't figure out:
Whenever I accelerate past 4000rpm, the acceleration starts to "stutter" (I don't know how else to put it).. Kinda like it wants to accelerate but something is holding it back. I can accelerate up to 4000rpm just fine, just have this issue when i try to go above it..
Tranny shifts fine, etc..
Any ideas??
Thanks

Try this:
Put the key in the 2nd position (ON)
Hold down your gas pedal to the kickdown position for 25-30 seconds and let go.
Start your car.
This resets the trans to factory settings. Should help!

Do you have the paddle shifters? I think it's a little different for the SMG's. I think you have to get your speed to about 50, put it in neutral, and pull both paddles towards you for 5 seconds.

My Ride: 2008 535i, platinum gray with cream beige dakota leather, premium, sport, comfort access, navigation, heated seats, sport auto with paddles, premium sound, sat radio, ipod
My 08 535 too. Exact same symptoms. I have already had to replace the HPFP and this feels like something different. I am thinking it might be a defective fuel injector. Taking it to the dealer this coming week to have that and another 3 or 4 things corrected.
