As what one bro mentioned, resetting the adaptation may work for a while but its only a temporary solution if the solenoids are indeed worn out, especially in our kind of traffic conditions. Since I was planning on keeping the car until its ROD date (not Rod from R2D hor), so I decided to have the valvebody replaced.
Now no more anticipating the jerk before stop

Re: Infamous jerk before stop
Mine already 125k but I changed the ATF once before. Don't know if can last till the theoretical lifetime of the gearbox unit which is 100k miles or 160k km.

Re: Infamous jerk before stop
Well for me to overcome the jerk, I manually downshift when coming to a halt.
Anyway driving in manual mode is more fun isnt it ? hehe..
BTW it appears the jerk only occurs to the 05/06 batch. The 07/08 seems to be using a different GB. Acceleration is smoother but doesnt feel so torquey.
I had a used 07 courtesy E90 car for almost a mth while they do up my car under PPSL warranty.
The GB had the same feel as 07 E93, smooth dont feel fast until you check the rear view mirror when moving off from a traffic light.... hehe...
The 06 E90 feels a lot more torquey and accelerates with a very aggressive charge. I guess they changed the ratios... I am not sure... Anyone experience the same ?

INPA is quite ok to install. Usual problems is caused by OBD settings for comm port and the ediabas.ini file not configured properly.
I used Tool32. Can find it inside e ediabas/bin folder. But you need to know what .prg file to load.

Re: Infamous jerk before stop
Any one here drives the car in the manual mode all the time? I have up sized the wheels to 19" and driving in D mode really sucks. On one hand the car is more responsive but I'm worried that the transmission may just call it quits sooner. I've just done a transmission change at 48k km. O and one word of advice from the the workshop; do a complete flush and not the usual empty and refill. I got two bottles of the transmission fluid instead of only one.

Re: Infamous jerk before stop
im on 19''.. drive the car in M occasionally.. why will the transmission kaput if constantly in manual mode?
I guess the transmission surely kaput sooner or later. Might as well make the best out of it and whack it hard. each transmission should last 110-150k thereabouts? u whack it hard and change it at 100+, last till scrap!

Re: Infamous jerk before stop
Hmm, to be honest, I have been a "victim" of the infamous valvebody going kaput on my dad's previous E60. The mileage was approximately 80K km but the ATF was never replaced. The valve body was subsequently changed by the now defunct Khang's Transmission and we have sold the car away as the car was basically constantly "lighted" up like a Christmas tree with all the error signals popping up.
Well, I am just worried that the solenoids will be heated up more easily by driving the car in the manual mode and this may lead to premature wear la. But what I do is to change gears only from 2K rpm onwards and I try not to upshift and downshift too much. I used to change the manual transmission fluid at each servicing session for my Type R and well, I think I will change the ATF for the 323i at every 20-30K as a preventive measure. Wonder if this is the usual practice here?

Re: Infamous jerk before stop
Yeah.... the workshops seem to recommend 40k, similar to jap cars. I may go for 60k. Anyway, I've just changed my ATF so assuming I drive 20k a year, the next ATF change will be 3 years later. By then, the car is 9 yo and maybe its time to change another ride

Re: Infamous jerk before stop
So what was the damage to the wallet for the valve body and solenoid replacements? Any warranty?
Cheers.
