I had this same issue with an 05 545i and BMW finally replaced the transmission only to have the car totaled 3k miles later. This is not the way an $82K car should shift.
Funny, I had an 06 750LI that did EXACTLY the same thing. I complained to my husband and he rolled his eyes at me. One day we were pulling into a parking structure and there was a "bang" as the car shifted. It felt like we had been hit hard from behind. (Every time it would happen I would be on an incline) My son and husband almost had a heart attack. I laughed. They never rolled their eyes at me again.
I got an 08 and it did not have any shifting issues. It did have a weird drag when you were coasting though. I got my 2011 last October. It is light years ahead of the 06 and 08. Every time I get in the car to drive it, I smile.
