![]() I believe when the transmission is in "D" the car should only downshift into 2nd gear at the lowest. the brakes have difficulty stopping without a jolt and subsequent sending the car in a forward to back rocking motion. at below 5 mph the transmission shifts into 1st gear which i think is the problem. This is most evident in coming to a stop. the 4.8 V8 has a lot of torque and it's my opinion that the transmission is not successful at making gear changes seamlessly, especially at low speeds. i have no real complaints with the car except for the transmission. I do notice the transmission to be a bit smoother but it's not a big change. This is especially helpful if you've purchased the car used and hence are a completely different driver with possible different driving style/ aggressiveness. resetting the adaptation allows the car to re-learn your driving style and that apparently can improve transmission response. apparently the software has a capability to adapt the transmission to the drivers driving style. it's hard to describe it but the nav definitely has changed.ģ. roads of different size appear differently, etc. ![]() the perspective view now displays more information and has an "updated" appearance ie. The only difference i did discover was that my navigation has changed. I never had any issues with my iDrive so i havent noticed any appreciable functional difference. the color scheme was brown and it still is brown. there was no change to my iDrive's appearance. I had originally complained of a jerky transmission and when i received the update for my transmission, all other systems were updated as well.Ģ. ![]() when the software update is applied, it changes all the software components of the vehicle to the most up to date version. ![]() BMW software updates apply to the entire car's software not a particular system individually ie. ![]() Ok i took my 08 E70 4.8i in today and had the software updated and here's what I learned.ġ. ![]()
