Consumer Description

WITH AN SMG TRANSMISSION, WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THERE IS A LOUD THUMP IN THE REAR OF THE CAR AS IF SOMEBODY HIT YOU FROM BEHIND. IT IS VERY STARTLING AND I AM SURE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG ALL BMW M5 DRIVERS. I AM SURPRISED NOBODY PLACED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS YET. *TR
