Morning Mark

Are you in Sport Mode? If driving normally are all changes OK? Are all changes OK in manual mode?

When was the box last serviced?

Hi sorry not very good just got car nt sure about sort mode its a column shift dont know about sport mode or manual it changes up sometimes when driven normal but not on kickdown  if gentle with a accelerator its ok

I am not aware of any column shift BMW model unless it has been adapted for a driver with a disability?

Or do you means paddle shift on the steering wheel? 

Dave

Morning Mark

ZF who make the gearbox in your car recommend service at 60 to 100k kilometres, how many miles has it done ?

I would find a local ZF specialist and get an oil/filter change done
