X5 feeling sluggish!!
Lately the truck in Drive has been feeling extremely sluggish and unresponsive to gas pedal. I mean it eventually gets going when I apply the gas pedal alittle harder. Is this common or is there an issue? Also the idle seems to be jumpy while driving as if it doesn't know what gear its in like its confused, when comin to a red light it'll just jump down to 500 than shoot back up to 1000 for no apparent reason. I recently did a strait pipe exhaust which had no problems but yesterday I removed the resonators/mufflers (ones in the middle) swapped them out for cherry bombs don't know if that's my problem but I doubt it is. I'm in the process of doing a full tune up already have all the parts

If this works, it will reset the transmission to "learning mode". It should make shifting a little more responsive. |

Yea. Ill try that. I'm currently having a problem with the smoky exhaust on occasion my buddy told me its most likely valve seals. I went with heavier oil weight due to higher mileage. But it seems to be running alittle rough in my opinion. The gas pedal issue is like when I'm driving if I floor the gas pedal truck will respond like 3 seconds after but the rpm will sky rocket without the truck actually gettin any traction to the wheels

No, you have the infamous injector problem. Many X5 have this problem, car will feel sluggish, evidence is the black area around the exhaust tip.
Do a search for faulty injectors you will find a lot of discussion on this issue. |

Also there's a new software update that changes some of the DME settings. I had the delayed throttle response and the update fixed it.

Just go into the dealership and they'll scan your key to see which version you currently have and if there's an update
