Anyone know if it works on the F10?Well I keep forgetting to post this but I forget what post I read it in so started a new one so nobody would miss this. If you have an auto and experience any "rough" shifts. For example for me it is when I would downshift from 3-->2 and ESPECIALLY from 2--> 1, it would feel like my car was a rocking chair.Well then someone posted a tip and links to other threads on this in different forums I believe and was confirmed by a BMW tech who chimed in on the thread-and it WORKED well for me.You put your key in/hit start ONCE so the electronics of the car come on but it is not started.Then hold down the gas, past the downshift point to the floor for 25-30 seconds straight.If you listen, at about 25s exactly you will hear some "noise" and that is the tranny "resetting" itself to factor specsLike I am sure you know these cars are smart and the auto tranny is no exception. It adapts and learns your driving style-but the catch is, which is why I noticed an improvment. Apparently it "learns" for about 1000 miles and then kind of "locks" those settings in so-to-speak. So however you drove the car off the lot or whover drove it off the lot-it was really those first 1k that determined how the autobox shifted itself.So anyway after I did that my downshifts were like 10 times smoother and overall shifting was much crisper and smooth.</blockquote>
