X5M shifts by itself in M/S
Occasionally, on red light, I would put the X5M to M/S (manual shift) while the car is on stop - car shifts by itself from 1st to 2nd gear without me doing anything. And sometimes, this happens a split second after a shift (via paddle) it jumps from 1st then shifts to 2nd gear (automatically) and split second later, I shift, it goes to 3rd. This is very annoying.
I think I've read somewhere on the forums that is is due to a bad transmission solenoid or something but I could not find it anymore. Any inputs? |

I believe that the vehicle will shift from 1st to 2nd in manual mode when launch control is used...this could be related.
EDIT: If you elaborate on your specific settings (i.e., using LC or not, EDC only or MDM Power mode, etc.) maybe we can replicate what's happening to you. Last edited by mirob; 01-13-2017 at 04:21 PM.. |

If you're at a stop, and move it over to M/S then it will activate Sport mode. If you hit the shifter up or down at this point, it will then go into Manual mode. Same applies if you're not at a stop.
