Howdy,
I have a problem with my m5 that I can't quite figure out. It comes in two stages:
1. Started the car and put it into reverse. It shifted hard, then when I started driving, seemed like it was stuck in 3rd and the check engine and transaxel lights came on. I parked it and came back when I had time. The battery died by the time I came back to it (2 weeks, we don't drive it very often). I replaced the battery and the symptoms went away.
2. Soon after this, at around 40 mph(usually, but also seen when turning into a parking lot) the car would start jerking like I got rear-ended a couple times and the check engine light would flash and then everything would be normal. I don't have any CEL bc I put the new battery in there and haven't really driven it enough to get codes(I assume)
So, any suggestions?
Ryan
