I have an 2004 530, auto, prem pack
I experience what i call "bobble", like those bobble head dolls. Could it be the plusher ride of the E60???
At slower speeds and in-between shifting on my automatic, I sense a shaky, lurchy, subtle bobble effect. it seems like it is the suspension but could be the tranny.
The dealer drove it and said it was all normal. Of course i drive 3000 miles a month and love the car but kind of yearn for the firmer ride of my old E39.
My wife suggested that because I am an agressive driver i am getting "weirdness" at slow speeds.
My E39 never had this little bobbley shaky body roll. Anyone else know what I am describing? I think I am going to try to reset the adaptive transmission.
