Transmissions stutters when put in drive...

[DBADBMW]

Hey all, I have an 02' 745LI. I noticed that when I put the car in drive from the park position, the car stutters into gear. It is a very shallow and slight stutter, but when you pay $55K for a car, no stutter is the only acceptable option. When I brought it to the dealer, they said they checked it out and found nothing wrong, but as soon as I get home- STUTTER! Anyone have any insight on what's this about? Could the dealer be intentionally avoiding a very costly repair that they are aware of? Help!

if you truly think something is wrong and the dealer is trying to jilt you on warranty repairs.. try a different dealership. Or even take it to an independent import car mechanic for a lookover

Hi just read ur artical with intrest,ive got a 1990 750il,and just got my car back,from havin my 4 speed auto trans re-conditioned,took it to ,a specalist,transmision company,thay said it was going 2 take a week 2 fix ,but it took them 3 weeks! at a cost of ,1600 pounds ,
but then,my car as done 170,000 miles!
the unit was working ,but used 2 judder,wen puting it into gear,and then when changing gear!
the man said it was stuck in high pressure mode due to bits of worn metal in the oil lines.

i hope urs is not as bad as that,but still ,4 a new car it should be smoth as !
And ive herd a lot of bad reports on various things not working on new 7s
i think there just to complex for there own good!!!!
and when somthing minor does occur ,and u take it 2 ur main dealer to try and fix,5/10 thay wont find it!!

any way good luck,!!
from another 7 s owner
