+1 for me on the inconsistent start. If I roll into the throttle very gently I can get it to go smoothly and not give my wife and kids whiplash. When I do this, however, it takes an awkward amount of time to get going. If I use what I could consider to be a "normal" start in any other car, it definitely takes a dramatic leap forward. Clutch engagement is almost like an on/off switch.
Once underway, shifting is fine. I will get the occasional time when approaching stop where it feels as though I've thrown out an anchor - but that's less frequent. I have an appointment next week for new tires, I'll ask the service manager about the issue. I've just been putting up with it thinking it was the nature of the car. Sounds like that may not be the case... |

I can't stress enough perfectly flat and not when the engine is running. If the car is warming up the parking brake is on. |

I have the same issue in stop and go. Almost similar to the clutch engagement from the E60 SMG days. Can the dealer do a clutch adaptation?
I will be addressing this at the next service. |

I find myself in a "lurch" every spring and fall. The car seems to dethrottle a lot to keep the rear tires behaving. |

I wonder if we all called BMW NA and complained about this if they would look into it and possible give us a fix. Seems to me that the world has pretty much given up on the M5 though. So they might not even care enough to fix it ...if they even can.

If I set my throttle in sport plus, or I suddenly step hard on it in sport throttle moving off, then yes, mine jumps as mentioned by you. |

I have noticed even in comfort, the M6 GC CP has a more sensitive throttle, since I am a bit slower pressing it from a stop it seems fine.
BUT it's not right, it starts in 1st in MODE D1, it should be in second.

I don't run snow tires, I run a 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4. I usually try and drive the M5 until just before the snow starts to fly and then it goes to sleep for the winter. I had a 550i that I ran with snows and it did ok, but nothing beats a big-huge-honkin truck through lake-effect snow. In the winter, if you've never experienced the lake effect snow machine, we don't get inches at a time, we get feet of snow at a time... It's, well... yeah, it sucks... Back on topic - I drop my car off first thing in the morning tomorrow. My service advisor (Ken at Zeigler's is a rock star!!!) is going to try and reset the adaptations and see where that takes us. I'll know tomorrow night if we need to keep searching for a solution or if it's a winner. |

I drove a brand new m5 today and it does the same thing! Even my service advisor noticed it. I even asked him to drive mine and the new one back to back with me. He agreed it didn't feel what he'd consider "normal" either. I also showed him how pulling in and inching the car into a tight spot is difficult due to the brakes not keeping consistent pressure. He agreed the brakes felt like they held consistency until the seemed to "bite" and hault the car abruptly. We experienced this in my 2013 m5 and a brand new one back to back. They both seem to be a characteristics of the M5. |

2 month old 2014 M5 bought in the UK. Its in for the recall next week so i'll get them to look at this as well. Thought it was just the power of the car and something i needed to get used to.

I have covered 900 miles in my M6 GC CP now , if I stop at lights the engine goes off, then I take my foot off for a second and the engine starts and I can pull away normally, IF I take my foot off quick and apply power it does jump forward a bit, slow manoeuvring and brakes seem OK.

Has anyone else noticed that if you roll the car back, the brakes will pulse? Im aware that or cars have hill assist. Which keeps brake pressure on for a few seconds after you use them so you dont roll into a car behind you or something.
But once they have fully let go and you just roll back, mine brakes will pulse by themselves. As if my rotors are badly warped or Im actually pulsating the brake pedal. I assume this is to not let he car gain backwards speed?

Picked up the car from the dealer tonight and the problem has been corrected. Car now operates as I think it should. Dealer went through and reset all of the adaptations. Text from the service tech is as follows: "No faults stored. Completed trans adaptations reset for clutch, shifting and valves. Noted M1 and M2 drive logic buttons were set to start at 2nd gear. Removed setting. " Not sure where/how/when the 2nd gear start setting were established, but pretty sure the adaptation reset corrected a bad behavior that the car learned. It now starts off from a start like the 535xi loaner that I had today while they worked on my car. |

I recall months ago there was a thread and most of M5 guys mentioned that their car start from 2nd gear at stop and go! I have never experienced this with my M6 and I was wondering if M5 is set like this but M6 not
