You probably need your transmission software updated to the latest version. The "downshift clunk" was an issue with some of the older software versions in the EGS unit. A REALLY good indy or the BMW dealer can do this.. although they may want to diagnose first.

I had the same issue (2003 325iT) - took it into my Indy shop and they updated the software - problem solved. I was at 60k miles then so I had them replace the "lifetime" transmission fluid while they were at it...

really relieved its not anything mechanical.that will cost heaps if it was.how much do you think it will cost me to update the software?
thanks for the replies guys

I'd contact Seth at JBEurotech in the Twin Cities (New Brighton).....

They updated my DME on my car for $140 and I'd assume they would be able to do the same for your transmission software. No doubt that it would be more expensive at a dealer.

What does the software do? I'm having the same issue at 117k whenever I'm slowing down to 1st or 2nd gear..
