I had the same thing happen of my 2006 325i. INPA resets would only help for about two weeks and then the problem would come back. Ended up getting a new valve body and it's been 4 months with no problems so far. Valve body is an expensive job, so I would only do it if nothing else works and you can't live with the jolt. After mine was fixed I did hear that setting the idle values ~100 rpm higher can fix the problem but I never got the chance to try this.

I have an 08 328i w/ 55K miles and it does it sometime too, it scares the shit out of me the first time because l almost rear ended the car in front of me. Mine does it very randomly so l do not know when to expect, very annoying and scary. I have searched on this forum and people said it's a common problem with the N52 tranny. Some said they feel like they got rear ended when that happens. I have not flushed my tranny fluid yet..!!
I hope that helps..You're not the only bro!! Bimmer Planning to keep my Bimmer another year and then getting the Lexus GS-F, not planning to deal with all the Bimmer headaches! BMW=nice car, drives great, but too many problems!! I guess the myth is true! |

As far as I understand, the valve body is what controls the transmission. Some parts of it are made of plastic so they wear out over time. This leads to rougher shifts, such as the rough downshift from 2-1. I already had an aftermarket warranty on my car(through EasyCare) and luckily they paid for the new valve body because it was like a $3000 job. Hope this helps
