auto transmission jerks when A/C is ON
I live in Egypt and i just got my 116i couple of weeks ago, and i just found that the RPM or the car jerks forward when coming to a stop specially when the rpm get lower than 1(1000 RPM) it jerks forward to ( 1500 rpm ) but that only when the A/C is ON that problem dont occur when the A/C is off.
Here in egypt its hot so i have to turn the A/C all the time:iono:. Anybody have that problem too ? i guess nobody have 116i even but that what we can get here in egypt because of the taxing system here its really so expensive to get even 118i |

try the 25 second trick, its quick, easy free, and can't hurt, but may solve the problem.
you press the start button once or twice to get the accessories to turn on but keep the engine off. you floor the gas for 25secs. then you press the start button again to turn everything off. then step on the break and press start button to start the car.

I don't think this is too uncommon for an Auto, my 2006 323i did it a bit when slowing downhill at around 2500 revs, and it annoyed my wife no end. Obviously the car is changing down gears to slow the car, and my guess would be that the extra load the AC puts on the engine is causing that to occur sooner, or more dramatically.
Maybe changing driving styles could make a difference, try braking harder, or braking softer, or not stopping as often Or take it to your dealer and get them to check it out, if they say all is OK, try and take another 1 for a test drive to compare My Father-in-law had a Citreon, and it was a real b#### for it.
