Hi all after doing a search I found something regarding a SIB



When driving my 07 325d m sport auto with the foot on the brake in drive after releasing the brake the car jolts as though the torque converter is on the way out..



My question is this where do I stand with my local BMW dealer as the SIB states On a customer complaint basis only, check the vehicle's integration level.




In such a case, on a customer complaint basis only, deactivate the NIC function by performing the "Converter lockup clutch" retrofit, using the current Progman/ISTA P version.




WARRANTY INFORMATION
Covered under the terms of the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty.




In other words do I have to pay or more importantly do I have a leg to stand on so to speak?





Many Many thanks in advance.

Does it jolt before applying the throttle?

[cwmitch]

Yes it does. Once the lights or car in front moves I release the brake and before I
can use the throttle or maybe I know it jolts so wait before moving the throttle?



If I knock it out of drive and put it back in it doesn't do it likewise in DS it
won't do it either.




Cheers Colin.

Odd! Is there a visible leak? Check the fluid level?

Mine does it occasionally in slow moving traffic or if I quickly change from braking to accelerating, for example slowing for a roundabout then darting out. Bit disconcerting when northing happens for a split second then bang, you're off.

Sounds a bit different to yours? Mines being looked at this week

Mine does it from cold but once warm it seems to sort it's self out
that's why I thought it was the condition the SIC described?


Good luck with yours

Only one way to find out, visit your dealer and discuss it.
