Software upgrade? Check with the service department. What are the other problems you've had?

Ahh sounds like the dreaded auto tranny hesitation. Do a search for "hesitation" and you'll see tons of threads on this topic.

Mine started out like that and continued through the first 800 miles or so... Now the accelereation is MUCH smoother (and the acceleration with the transmission shifted into sport mode is SWEET!)... I read in these forums that the transmission either "learns" from the driver, or that it's programmed to take it easy during the break in period... I'm not sure if I trained the transmission or if it trained me, but it seems much better now...

Fix due September...

I got the jerky problem too. My dealer filed a PUMA case and they instructed the dealer to reprogram the car. I tried to get some software version numbers from the dealer, but they said the CD is enroute and is suppose to arrive today. I'm bringing it in tomorrow morning, so I should have more info tomorrow.

I would recommmend everyone with this problem to file a PUMA case to let BMW know that this is an issue that we would like resolved.

Let us know how it goes

What is a PUMA case... sorry for the newbie question.

I have similar problem but I haven't even reached 800 miles yet, and I can notice the tranny is responding better since the first 100-200 miles
