No more rough 2-3 kick shifts too
Couldn't be happier hope this helps anyone who comes across this as our miles skyrocket!
How much was the repair if you don’t mind sharing? I have a 2010 X5m that is having intermittent problems and won’t downshift from 6th to 5th and randomly gets stuck in 6th gear. Also I have gotten periodic transmissions error which goes away after I turn off the car and restart.
