Re: bmw 1.4.0 questions
Hi,
When i bought my X5 (E53) a few months ago i also found the gearbox really jerky. I read that you could reset the gearbox "learning" by turning the ignition on (not starting the car) and pressing the accelerator for 30 seconds. have a search on the forum and you should find the correct procedure.
this didn't do anything for me though. In the end I took the car to Jason at BW Tuning and he updated the engine and gearbox software and things are much better now. I think he charged me £95 + vat.
edit: here's an old topic of mine with a link to the procedure
