I have a 2007 X3 automatic with very similar issues, I have taken the vehicle in for the software update. I still have the same issues. BMW know that there are issues major issues with the auto tans. Why not send out a recall and fix the problem. Why must we keep going to the dealer to find out "no problem found" That is a bunch of BS. These cars are not cheap. I just want the car to function correctly. At this point it is not.
