I have an 08 535i and have noticed a "thud" and slight jerk in the drivetrain a split-second after starting the engine. Appears to mostly happen on cold starts. Has anyone here experienced the same thing? Is this normal?

they re-program the control unit of the gearbox, free of charge at the dealership

Here is the link to the official BMW Technical Service bulletin which addresses the problem. You can print this out and show it to the dealer if they need help diagnosing.
