Recall 2008399
CA Recall: Powertrain
On certain m3 vehicles equipped with the multistage downshifting of the double clutch gearbox, during some cases involving rapid vehicle deceleration, the transmission software may perform a multistage downshift. in this situation the clutch is open for a approximately 200msec. when this occurs, positive gear engagement is interrupted. in conjunction with the engine's over run fuel cut-off at low speed, there is a possibility for the engine to stall. loss of propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. correction: dealers will re-program the engine electronic control module.
