Etwenty1 45 Report post Posted April 20, 2010 Hi, my FL E30 325i auto is downshifting if i accelerate hard (kickdown) then ease foot off the gas, rather than shifting up. Its making for lots of revs and excitement but does anyone know whats up? to be clear, overtaking i press down to the kick down switch, it kicks down then at about 120 changes up, then when i ease off the gas it kicks down again.......

Etwenty1 45 Report post Posted April 20, 2010 buy my box. rebuilt in 2007 drives like it was new. Cheers - I may be keen on that - this car has been resurected after sitting for 2 years. Fluid colour is good but i was hoping this might be a service or adjustement problem.......? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
