My Ride: 2006 530xi (One black & one grey) 2010 X5 535d 1974 BMW 3.0CS 2008 535i, 2009 335d, 2011 X5 35d, 2008 335i FBO
I was entering a freeway on-ramp this morning in manual sports mode(M2) and the car upshifted by itself to M3...M4...M5 at around 5k rpm!!?? Needless to say, it was a scary moment when I lost all tq/hp because I was on the wrong gear and the sudden pause almost got me rear ended. Haven't driven the car since and crossing my fingers it won't happen again. Anybody unlucky to experience this before?? My car is out of manufacturer warranty...
