E60 transmission issue

jargoude · 09-12-2013, 12:19 PM

Have had my car (08 550 with sport package) at dealer for over 10 weeks total (2 different visits) and was just told that my transmission is not shifting properly because I replaced stock 19" wheels with 20" aftermarket wheels...... Can this really be true? I have had the tranny replaced and the mechatronic last year and still same issue. This dealer has had my vehicle for going on 6 weeks and I think that they are just trying to get rid of my car and my issues by saying that when they put the original diameter wheels and tires and drove it, all is well????? HELP can this really be a valid reason? I run winter 17" wheel/tire combo I bought from TireRack and still have the same issue..... I need to know if I should pick up my car and take it to another dealer.. hard to believe that a wheel switch makes all go away. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's a load of BS. Tires/wheels size have nothing to do with how transmission operates. What are the symptoms?
