[QUOTE="556129, post: 17956, member: 14979"] I'm a happy owner of a used 2002 local 520i, with about 50,000km on the clock, which I picked up for vios money. Car's been running like clockwork since i picked it up several months ago. By my standards, I push the car pretty hard on outstation trips, running up to 200kmh off and on and its really a great drive.However, recently I've experienced occassional jerks when i come to a slowing halt, but is otherwise totally smooth when accelerating away. I have changed the gearbox fluids and filter, but it still persists. Its as if the gear box couldnt make up its mind when dropping from 5-4-3-2-bump...At this time, its more an annoyance rather than a problem. But its unfortunately a problem when you get used to the butterry smoothness of a flawless car. I'm a little worried the little jerks will become a big bang sometime in the future.Anyone having this problem and managed to solve it? I really hope its something other than the gearbox otherwise I'll just hv to drive till the gearbox gives up the ghost. [/QUOTE]
