My BMW downshifts too early upon stopping and then hesitates on shifting into 1st gear when taking off after comming to a stop-ive also seen a "trans fault" light on dash and the (P R N D) Lights constantly flash on /off when this happens followed by drive moderately and it says sumn about the gears in the info center. When this comes on so does the stability control (DSC) light. THE DOWN SHIFTING I HEAR IS QUITE COMMON FOR THIS YEAR- but the local dealer i think is nickle and diming me b/c the car is there every other week they come up w/a possible solution but then nothing> drives fine over 35 40mph but otherwise kina weird> possible suggestions?
