BMW driver question
My BMW with automatic transmission, on cold engine flips from P (park mode) to D (drive mode), without jerking, and when warm – jerks. The second problem is in fourth, and fifth gear. The transmission does not want to drop into fifth, it just saws the engine at maximum rpm. This also happens between gears 3-4. I should add that with manual gear changes, everything is OK. What is the problem?
BMW driver question
I bought a BMW 7 a few days ago with a non-functioning central locking system. I went to an electrician where I was told that the Diversity antenna was to blame. I purchased a new antenna and had it replaced in the rear pillar on the passenger side. According to the electrician’s assurances, the problem lies with the receiver, as the remote control is operational. Perhaps it is a Diversity scrambling issue? Please advise.
BMW driver question
There was a problem of hard and high brake pedal on cold engine. The impression is as if the brakes are swollen. You have to use a lot of pressure to get the car to brake. The mechanic said that it is a brake servo that is worn out and should be replaced. The car has a mileage of 62,000 km.
Is this possible with such mileage?

BMW driver question
I am constantly tormented by a problem with the automatic transmission, namely the transmission makes noise at slow speed – on P and N and when putting D into gear, you have to wait about 3 seconds. When the transmission warms up well the car from D starts with a little slip and jerk. How to fix it?
BMW driver question
My problem is related to the automatic transmission. When shifting to D the car jerks. At 60 km/h I also feel a jerk. Other than these two problems, the transmission works flawlessly. I’ve been to the mechanic and he told me that there is play on the half axle and on the flexible link between the shaft and the rear bridge. Please give me your opinion on this subject.
