It sounds like there could be 2 possible problems. 1) the spark plugs might be too old and do not convert power efficiently causing it to shudder or even stall when power needs increase (I suggest a tune-up). Or 2) the timing could be off and needs to be adjusted by a mechanic, while you're at it you might want to see how worn your timing belt is, if it no longer grips it can cause off time explosions in the valve chambers and you'll definitely get some shaking action and even stalling and if it snaps, the car won;t be going anywhere (til the belt it gets replaced).

When ever I tow my camp trailer my BMW X5 drops down in to limp home mode. This happens offen when towing up a hill. The camper is under the towing capacity by over 1000kg.

Never tow in over drive, Never tow with the accelerator more than Half way to the floor, when shifting Keep the RPMS between 2000-3000 and Drive slow in the next lower gear than what the car selects.

BMW 320i almost cutting out when slowing down

Re-Check your spark plugs again take each one out & make sure the gap is set at 24 on every plug, if this is not electric problem then look at the fuel your fuel pump cleaner may be blocked up both jobs are DIY as long as your technically minded. Cheers, Malcolm Campbell.

Sounds like your transmission is bad. You'll need to take it to a shop to have it checked out.

Transmission problem stuck in sport shift mode

I also have a 2009 Outlander Sportronic transmission with a V6 engine.
Bought it this summer ... transmission appeared fine but seemed to automatically slow down the vehicle using the engines compression whenever I let go of the gas pedal.
Now that the cold weather is upon us here in Canada, whenever I accelarate normally (not like a teenager) the transmission takes quite a bit of time to shift into second... If I rev up the engine (quick take off) it seems to help but the shifting of gears is not as smooth as I would expect it (mildly slips and kicks into second)...

The worst is when come to a complete stop ... then the transmission kicks coming down from the higher gears???

I read somewhere that this is because this transmission is a CVT type and is learning my driving habits in order to adjust itself so the vehicle becomes more fuel efficient... Not sure but if the trany is computer controlled then it must be poorly writen program...
I'm taking the car in to the dealer and will write back on the diagnostic they give me ...

'94 320i

Hello.

That doesn't sound right, I'd suggest getting the spoeedo checked. Even if you had the close ratio gear box which I think was fitted to the 4 cylinder engines, your speedo should be showing 160 km/h at 5000rpm in 5th.
