Transmission Kicking 2nd / 3rd gear
Hey guys,
I went for a longer drive today to get to one of my jobsites and I noticed when I climb hills it seems like the 2nd 3rd gears are kicking like its loosing power or something. I was in efficient mode and If I try the same thing in Sport or Sport + with the paddle shifters it seems like its not doing it. Anyone ever had a similar problem? I tried searching for that but nothing came out. |

Ok after some more drive today it seems like it could be turbo related?! Even in Sport+ I get that loss of power when I accelerate.
Anyone?? |

Not sure I understand your description of problem, but I had misfiring or jittery power delivery type symptoms that ended up being a transfer case. No CEL or dash indicators came on. Sounds like you need to have it in for a mechanic to look at it.

It was indeed the transfer case oil that was pretty bad darkishh, changed the oil reprogram the car and everything was fine! ended up changing the spark plugs at the same time.
There were no metal shreds or pieces when they flushed the old oil so thats a good sign. |

Perhaps the 1200 run in wasn't performed where I believe they change that fluid? |

I took it to my local shop that are specialized in bmw and like I said they finally found out that the oil in the transfer case was bad. After a full flush and some new oil in it drives like new. Im at 80 000kms (49 000miles). Oil seemed to be the original one. They also changed all 8 spark plugs... maybe try a second opinion but not in a bmw dealer.

You'd need to provide more info. What did you take it to the dealer for? What are the symptoms?

I had a new xfer case installed in mine under warranty at 38k. Fluid changes for these systems seems to make sense at around 50k mile intervals. |
