I have an automatic and when it changes gear it over revs. Does anyone have any ideas of what this could be or has had this issue.

Welcome to the Forum

It could be low fluid level in the box, it could be just simple wear and tear (they should be serviced every 50 to 80k) it could ne a torque converter fault? 

You need th ecodes read by either a BMW or Gearbox specialist to know

Thanks Dave, I had the fluid changed but didn’t make any difference. I’ll have to get it book in to get it sorted. Thanks for the advice.

      I stand corrected…. It wasn’t the starter. I could hear it clicking so checked the battery, amps were about 10… new battery and fired straight up…. So much for Halfords and yuasa battery testing! ….now to the next issue…

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.
