BMW driver question
My car is experiencing a vibration in the gearshift lever. I have already replaced the dual mass wheel, while the multi-spring wheel and the engine and transmission cushions are in working order and show no signs of wear. What could be the problem?
The problem occurred in a BMW 118d E81, but it may also happen in other models.
BMW driver question
When the temperature drops below zero, there is a jerking sensation in my car for the first few kilometers. In addition, there is white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. The list of repairs I have done so far: remanufactured turbo, replaced thermostats, cleaned EGR, removed catalytic converter, removed intake flaps and removed DPF. I use BP ultimate fuel. There are no errors on the on-board computer. Please support.
BMW driver’s question
The problem occurs during freezing weather. In my car with automatic transmission after putting R (reverse gear), sometimes D (gear for normal driving) the engine goes out. Clearly something is choking it, then it fires up normally. Only after the engine warms up does the problem disappear. Changes that have been made: new EGR, cut flaps, cleaned DPF, exhaust cooler, injectors, turbo. Zero errors on the computer. Please help.

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.
BMW driver question
I have a problem with the transmission, namely on a curve the failure mode of the transmission came on and the car stopped driving. After waiting 10 min the transmission started to work but not in the best way. After connecting to the KTS, the error number 100 and 120 popped up. From the box gently oozed oil through the simmering. What could have been damaged and is it worth repairing?

It’s hard to enter gears on a cold engine, specifically it’s the 1st gear and reverse gear. As you drive, the problem stops. What is the problem?
The problem affected the BMW 1 E87, but it happens in other models as well. Read More
BMW driver question
When changing gears (the worst is from 1 to 2 a little better from 2 to 3) there is a strange noise from the chassis as if the rear part (maybe the shaft support) and unfortunately jerks. As I try to change gears very gently, I almost succeed, there is no way to change quickly. Higher gears from 3rd to 4th and 5th shift just OK. Reducing from higher to lower does not happen smoothly either. Please give me a hint.
