Just purchased 2011 X6 on 6/25/10 - issue with transmission - please help
Hi everyone. I just took delivery of a 2011 X6 50i. Black Sapphire with all the options! Only one dealer in my area had any in stock so I bought one of the 2 available. I have a question regarding the transmission. When I take my foot off the gas pedal, the car slows down very rapidly and there is a small jerk every time the transmission down shifts one gear. This happens whether I am going slow or fast...so at all gear shifts going down. Accelerating is totally smooth so no issues there. It just seems very unusual and I called my salesperson today and he tried to convince me that its totally normal with this transmission and these types of brakes - he says that the x5 and x6 are both like this. Can anyone tell me whether it is normal? Because it just doesn't seem normal to me. I had nightmares last night about this thinking that I bought a lemon
Any input will help me. Thanks!! |

Make sure the trans is not in the sport shift mode. It will use the engine to brake and hold it at higher rpm's.

Just picked up my X6 50i 3 days ago and i can slightly feel it at very slow speeds also, but no jerking or anything like that.

I also experience something similar at very low speed (20/30mph) when decelerating...I wonder if this is related to the new 2011 7 speed transmission..I noticed that the fist 2-3gears are very close...sport mode...how do you check if it's on?
