Hi All,

I started to experience the same problems in my 2008 135i with ~75000kms.

Recently I have had the following work done at my local indie who specializes in BMWs (out of warranty mind you!):

- CAM O-ring seal replacement to fix VANOS faults
- HPFP replacement
- New spark plugs
- Full auto transmission service - pan, filter, fluid replacement

I was hoping the fluid change and spark plugs would fix my issue however it is definitely still rough to shift in low gears most noticeable at low RPM. Sometimes it will hold 1st for a very unnecessary length of time (~3k RPM) with minimal throttle input.

Has anyone looked into this issue further? Could my fluid level be low after the refill? I have read that some people needed to top it up after a week or so.

I'm worried that this issue will lead to a bigger problem like injector problems so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Jack
