when the rpm reaches and "sits" anywhere between 1,000 and 2,000 in mainly first or second gear, sometimes third as well, i feel sort of a hesitation as the dial sort of "stutters up and down between 1,000 and 2,000 rpms.......... its weird, its not a real jerking hesitation but i slight back and forth hesitation, that mainly the driver can feel....

my 530i is automatic, and smooth otherwise with about 65k...... i tried to describe the "malfunction" best i could........ please help??????

this has been goin on for a while now, i just never really thought it was a big problem, now its getting very annoying...

any help is greatly appreciated

 

The problem you have is in the atomatic transmission, you have to change the converter, it is unbalanced and is usually a warranty from BMW go to your local BMW dealer and they will help you get a new one...

thanks so much for that piece of information...... my vehicle is out of warranty, around 65k miles on it now.... will the dealer still cover this? if not, do you have any idea how much it will cost???

thank you so much for your help

 

You may ask your dealer for goodwill warranty and maybe they will take the costs for the parts you ned and you have to pay for the work.. (excuse my french i am from Norway)
