330i jerky when braking
Hi all,
I currently own a MY2019 330i G20. It's the first BMW that I've ever owned. I am noticing something that I'm not quite used to. Whenever braking from ~20mph, the car's transmission feels quite jerky and you can really feel the downshifts, it kinda throws you back and forth in your seat, and I could never really perfect it. I put the car into neutral while braking and noticed that it was much smoother. Putting the car into Sport mode kinda helps when the jerkiness as well, but I tend to drive in comfort mode or eco pro as I have long highway commutes everyday. Is this something that's normal in a G20 330i? I've also driven a F45 218i before but that transmission wasn't quite as jerky when braking like this G20 is. Thanks! |

Hi Guys
Head over to the UK section for the G20 330e. This variant is the most popular and you’ll find lots of threads and posts dedicated to the 330e. |

I got my 330i a few weeks ago and I have noticed this a little but more annoying is coming to a stop there is a slight rock front to back? Coming from a MK7 GTI which stopped on a dime and is front wheel drive so maybe it is some slop in the driveshaft?

My 2021 M340i has this issue to some degree.
It seems the brake engagement is not linear over the pedal travel. Lightly pressing the pedal gets consistent light braking, but then it reaches a point where the brake engagement is much more positive. During light braking in traffic this gives a jerky feel because you don’t always have a sense of when it will start to brake much harder. However, if you have a heavy braking need (like slowing down for an off ramp) you might pass through and not even notice the transition. |
