From: Quality & Service Engineer @ dealers.bmwna.com

Subject: GM5 Transmission Delayed Shift Problem

Vehicles:
'03/'04(up to 11/03) E46 with M54 and GM5 Trans. 325iA, 325XiA, 330XiA, and from 03/03 325A/330A Coupe,Convertible, '03/04 (up to 12/03)E53 X5 3.0 with GM5 Trans.

Situation:
Excessively long delay (5-30 seconds) in gear engagement from Park to Drive on the first cold start. Problem occurs only once a day on the initial start-up.

Cause:
Unfavorable tolerances of forward clutch housing causing internal transmission pressure leak after overnight parking.

Service Fix:
Replacement of defective Transmission with updated unit.
--------------------------------------------

I heard someone complain of this problem,
so there you are. Call your local dealer and get your new transmission.

There are no trannys available yet. Go to the dealer and get your name on the list. First come first serve.
