| Message: | It would appear that some BMW E60 (new 5 series) owners have also been experiencing the LURCH that Jaguar S-Type and XK8/R owners have experienced : http://forums1.roadfly.com/jaguar/forums/xk8/6510801-3.html How much more evidence does my Dealer require before they finally admit that the LURCH actually exists ???? Look at the "Situation" below in the BMW TSB for the same ZF 6HP26 Gearbox as the S-Type, XK8 and XJ. IDENTICAL to what I have been saying, absolutely IDENTICAL !!! (What I have commented on for the last 2.5 years : http://www.thelurch.com/lurching_zf_transmission.htm) BMW SIB240305 bulletin: 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.
