Re: Slight tuck fwd whenever I slow down to stop on a traffic liffic light
Same here, i got this on my e60 523 pre FL too.
For mine, after close notice, it's the downgear from Gear 2 to Gear 1.
Its a realli huge tug forward just right before you stop or after you stop it tugs forward.
No idea how to solve this also, any one can share any experience in solving this?
Its been bugging me for a really long time.

Hi Renyu, my e60 523 has the same problem. Trouble is it is intermittent. Sometimes I can drive to 20-30 mins without it occuring. Changing the ATF did not help. One workshop recommended replacing the entire gearbox, which is an expensive affair if you get a recon box from Germany.
Just got a second opinion yesterday from another workshop that specialises in transmission that the problem lies with the valve control unit (not sure if I got the term right) which is part of the gearbox. Am considering getting that replaced next week...will keep you posted.

Re: Slight tuck fwd whenever I slow down to stop on a traffic liffic light
dont change the gearbox......
try going back to PML ..yes im serious...i have a friend who works in PML that tells me sometimes its not mechanical failure... that problem can be caused by control unit or programming...
i have a friend who drives E60 and E90 experienced the same problem...especially the 520 and 320..... most can resolve it by programming or changing control unit..not the whole gearbox

Have done the software reset/upgrade path as well....doesn't help. Hence will be going for the control unit replacement. Question I have now is whether to overhaul the transmission at the same time.....

Re: Slight tuck fwd whenever I slow down to stop on a traffic liffic light
does anyone know the costs involved for replacing the control unit?
mine's already not under warranty.
i was told that reflashing the gearbox programme would costs around 300 bucks and prob 1-2 days job.

Re: Slight tuck fwd whenever I slow down to stop on a traffic liffic light
Same here too. Its intermittent too. But mine is really frequent, once it starts, it continues for each stop.
Hope to hear your solution being solved and share it with us.
It seems like alot of pple are facing this issue.

Hi wkkok, Great at least there is solution... I don't mind to try also ... not sure which workshop & the cost....can advise ?
Also if u go on DS mode you should not get prob... that is what I experience when I switch to DS.

I just bought a pre-owned 2006 320i.
Had this same problem, it's very uncomfortable. Realised that do not have this prob when the car just started i.e. still cool. After that, prob comes in. Sometimes the jerk is quite harsh, having getting used to it, can minimise with a bit of foot work.

Re: Slight tuck fwd whenever I slow down to stop on a traffic liffic light
True enuff, it can be minimised if you can control with your foot work.
However, i feel tat it kinda compromises the driving style.
for e.g. harsh driving would cause a harsher jerk when you stop.

Re: Slight tuck fwd whenever I slow down to stop on a traffic liffic light
Yah. Somemore you gotta anticipate when the jerk is coming then brake in/ brake out. I tried driving w/o aircon, seems like prob gone...
Perhaps I'll go PML and highlight the prob during next servicing, if re-programming at $300 can solve the problem I don't mind. Changing the control unit at $6k is abit too much though. Probably gotta live with the prob then.
