Hello forum members: Glad to start here and hopefully participate and contribute to the enjoyment of our toys..
Cutting to the chase.. Have a 05' 545IA with 10K.. This week took to dealer because of an issue with tranni shifting very but very hard when shifting down to a stop when driving, like for example, in parking lot with various speed bumps where you accelerate then decelarate to almost complete stop and then accelerate aggain etc..
The transmission would shift down and then up I guess, with a big bang so hard that almost give you a whip lash... No kidding!!!
The dealer first had hard time downloading software because kept locking in middle of nine hr process... According to them! Finally after two days the software downloaded. My qustion and comment is that I have been readuing that the latest version is in the 15's, yet the report I got said that "As per SI# 24 03 04 CPI version 21.02 was installed.... What do you guys think.
Also, is there a manual of sorts, with list of improvements or features with this new software???
Thank you!!

Don't know where you were reading about CIP version 15.x being the latest (it's clearly not) but it looks like you now have one of the more current versions.
Also, it's quite common for the car to crash when getting the new software so taking two days is pretty much standard.

Welcome.
Your SIB is not relevant to your issue:
SI B 23 03 04
Manual Transmission July 2004
Technical Service
SUBJECT
E46 M54: SMG Transmission Relay Failure
MODEL
E46 with ZF GS6-37 SMG up to 07/04 production.
---------------------------------------
What they REALLY meant was:
SI B 24 03 05
Automatic Transmission June 2005
Technical Service
SUBJECT
Harsh 2-1 Downshift
MODEL
E60 (545i); E63/64 645(Ci/Cic) with 6HP26 up to 04/05
SITUATION
Customer may complain of the following:
An excessively harsh 2-1 downshift when decelerating to a stop, or
Transmission "bangs" into gear when accelerating from a full or a "rolling" stop (vehicle did not come to a complete stop).
CAUSE
EGS software.
CORRECTION
On a customer complaint basis only, reprogram/recode complete vehicle using SSS with CIP on-line update 17.01, or higher.
Important:
Transmission temperature must remain below 50 deg C and trans shifter must be placed in P position prior to the start of CIP programming.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
Covered under the terms of the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
For the appropriate defect code and labor operation refer to the KSD system.
-----------------
I won't bore you with all CIP history but
15.2 was from Dec 04
17.01 from June 05
21.xx Mar 06
So hopefully you are squared away.

My Ride: 535dSE - Amethyst Grey, No model insc, standard wheels, Dynamic Drive, Rear side airbags, Auto-dim ext & int mirrors, Myrtle wood trim, Amethyst-Exclusive Leather, Heated front & rear seats, Active front seats, Electric comfort seats, Visibilty Pack, Pro Sat-Nav with TV, Bluetooth, Sun Protection glass.
THIS PLACE IS A MINE OF INFORMATION! My 535D has been doing exactly the same thing, but the dealer's response has been to blame the torque of the engine and to recommend that I drive in Sport Mode (it makes no difference). Now I can show him where to look.
Thanks Cobradav.
