Rocking while in Park

C135i · 05-29-2014, 07:59 PM

Anyone else notice their car surging forward while idling in park? Mine is a '13 135i with DCT. I had started the car and gotten out to go get something real quick and when I came back I noticed the car was rocking forward.

Now, I notice it every time I'm in park and idling.

My car does this occasionally. Or should I say, did this occasionally. I've learned to always engage the parking brake if I'm going to sit in the car while it is running. The car wouldn't exhibit this behavior all the time, and my CA told me he's never heard of it before... and of course we sat in the car for 20 minutes in Park... the car never budged at all.

I never noticed it until I had the PPK1 SW installed. Of course, it could have been doing it prior and I just didn't notice it.

I'm running the PPK2 (PPK1 + extra cooler). Will be interesting to see if anybody else reports this issue.

It's happened to me once, but I've only got 3k miles on the car so I haven't spent much time with it. I also use my p-brake now, although I've not heard of anyone's cars getting away from them due to this but I don't want to be the first.

I have PPK1 going in next week. I'll let you know. I rarely let it idle in park w/o the parking brake engaged. I have had it surge forward while at a stoplight a couple times with the trans in drive.
