DS Not shifting Properly.
My second thread over the same 20minute car ride
I was driving in DS, in 2nd gear and it would not shift into 3rd. The car ran all the way up to about 6k rpm before i forced it to shift myself. I wasn't WOT, Close but not quite. Recently I had a leaking Mechatronics tranny seal. Not sure if that has any relevance to it. |

well maybe your transmission thought you were on a hill or you were hitting the throttle a little to hard? why didnt you just put it back in D if you wanted it to shift up?

Check for codes first. Clear and see if the problem persist. If it does I would look to see if your fluid is leaking or not filled correctly in some fashion. |

BMW did the work of course. It just seems odd to me to be a fluke, it's happened other times.
No codes, no leaks I got under and checked. From looking around on other posts the only thing i've found is DME issues, which i'm hoping it's not. |

I've noticed that when I'm in "DS", the car never shifts out of 5th gear.
Is this normal? If so, that's very stupid. I have to flick the lever over to "D" if I want to enjoy DS pulling away from a light or getting onto the freeway, and then cruise in 6th once I am up to speed to enjoy better gas mileage.

Same thing happened to me coming home from work. Not WOT. Just a little bit of a delay from 2nd - 3rd gear in DS. Little hesitant at the top of 6krpm's, but it shifted. To me it's normal, I seem to remember it happening when I don't go WOT. WOT and there's never a delay. Don't think the road I was traveling on was perfectly level too. You're probably fine.
