Transmission Solenoid
Hi there, I'm having a similar problem like most E60 owners when it comes down to the transmission. I've done everything to solve the problem and after doing some research I figured out that I need new solenoids to fix the jerking. 95% of the time the transmission works and shifts perfect but randomly jerks and sometimes get the malfunction. I'm looking for someone who has replaced the solenoids inside the transmission. I own a 2007 525i with 115k miles. I replaced the oil, pan, filter, sleeves, software etc... If anyone knows of someone or experienced shop, please feel free to send me an email. I would greatly appreciate it.

I called ZF transmissions and gave them my vin and they sold me a solenoid set for around $500.00. The set came with detailed instruction as to which screws to remove inside trans. I now realize that I should have rebuilt the valve body. After replacing the car drove like new. My car is a 2005 545.

Kyle, once I reinstall the VB, pan and oil, i have to reset the transmission adaptations right? Is that the process were you hold the accelerator for about 25-30 seconds? or do I have to connect it to a machine and reset it?

Hi Kyle, hope all is well. So I'm getting ready to send out my valve body and wanted to ask a few questions. Once i get it replace and add the oil and filter, can i drive the car without resting the adaptations? reason i ask is that my mechanics shop few miles from my home and i would need to drive the car there so he can hook it up to the machine to reset everything. would this affect the car in any way? Thanks
