Dealer said it's normal, I think there's a problem. What do you think?

He said I may experience a slight increase in consumption, but then told me he only warned me of it because he was instructed to when performing this "fix." I haven't noticed a quantifiable difference, and I get the impression there isn't one on the scale that we measure consumption. |

I'm pissed!!! The dealer said they won't do anything even with the SIB because my car is 01/07 build and that bulletin is for 03/07 on. I have the exact same issue as reported on that bulletin but they won't do it bc my car doesn't fit the bill.
What can I do? |

Does that mean you don't have NIC?

I have no clue. they said they can't fix it since they can't even detect the problem. they can't do a software update because it doesn't fall in the bulletin's parameters.
I'll have to go in and show them what I'm experiencing. |

I have the same thing in my whip. Definately isn't turbo lag, it's more of a sudden jolt as if the tranny is delayed in catching the power from the engine. Dealer says it's normal but we all know that's a bunch of BS. . .
Maybe updating the car's software will do the trick |

It's weird i had the same exact issue everyone here is talking about. Just recently a little over a month ago i had the Sirius Sat radio installed in my car and they had to reprogram my car in order for it to work. Well after the programming i noticed that i no longer have that issue and when i look in the iDrive vehicle settings i noticed that there is a new service icon there for when my car needs an emissions test. I checked my service record but couldnt find what they updated the software to.
I still wonder what version they updated it to??? |

I'm pissed again. Went to the dealer this morning to drive it with a tech and he said it was normal. He felt the jolt but said it was normal, gave me some BS about the turbo spooling and it's normal for these turbo cars.
He said if I keep trying to show duplicate the problem, the car learns that and it's how I drive so it will keep doing it. So I told him to reset the learned settings. Probably wont' do much but they wouldn't budge. maybe I can find another problem with the car that has the same solution (updating software) so they'll fix that problem and as a side effect fix this one too. |

I finally got my car back, and he just reset the adaptive trans. Not sure how they did it. But it's done and written on the paperwork that that's what they did.
He did mention he emailed BMW NA to see if they could upgrade the software for me. So I'm waiting for him to contact me about that. of course, the car still drives the same. |
