I have a couple of steep driveways that I need to go up from time to time and depending on the angle I enter and how slow, the car refuses to go up. One wheel is spinning. Even if it goes up, I get a thump feeling like the gearbox has caught up to the engine revs. The dealer is telling me it's due to the suspension being so stiff and the dsc / dtc clicking in as it realises one wheel is off the ground. Anyone else experiance this. I said to the dealer that I felt it was a differential issue but I have no mchanical background to justify my observation. It's a gut feeling. They are going to re-flash my engine and gearbox ecu next week on the basis it might be a software issue. Engine drops revs when I come to a stop sometimes and occasionaly shrudder and twice stalled. I think the ecu re-flash should fix that.

They are giving me a loaner for the day so i"ll test the driveways I experiance my issues with to see how it copes.

Interested to hear from others with similar issues.

hmm is suspect it's just one drawback with rear wheel drive.

Does happen to me too, i've changed my suspension and sway bars too!

I've read a similar thread on the X5 forum.

I believe the same type of wheel spinning can be found when driving in the snow. Have you tried hitting the DTC button to see if that makes a difference (be it good or bad)?

Otherwise, I can vouch for the Quaife LSD.

Cheers.

I've been meaning to try it without the dtc etc.... I'll do it this week before going to the dealer.
