Interesting: Similar spec, but November 2015 build. It's started doing this since the weather got warmer (Even though it's worse when the engine is cold). Sometimes it feels as though it's momentarily hunting between gears, especially when cruising on motorways. I'm still getting this problem even though we're in Wales, so I don't think it's anything to do with the air in Tyne & Wear!

Could be the EGR. I had mine replaced recently as it felt like the car was changing down on a constant throttle or when coming off throttle. Very subtle but noticeable and i was starting to anticipate it occurring, which does not make for a relaxing drive.

After the EGR was replaced it was like night and day.

Just hope this isn't a regular thing :-/

It's the EGR. My 25D did the same & was replaced a few months ago. Get it booked in under warranty

Thanks for your advice pleased I am not alone booked into Coopers Durham on the 30th of May they want it dropped off the day before so they can try it when it’s cold

Just to add a voice to the other commentary that this very probably your EGR valve. There is/was a silent recall on the B47 EGR valve and BMW will only deal with it when you complain about an issue with the car. I don't understand their logic but loads of EGRs have been replaced with an uprated version on the B47 2.0d engines.

All sorted Replaced EGR valve and software update

Mine now has new EGR valve and updated software - so far so good: interning that the reported TSB on this forum has referred to 25Ds, but the problem seems to be affecting 20Ds also.

Dealers did the EGR in one day, but had to order in a new bonnet latch, as it really wasn't shutting properly (In spite of all the instructions on how to slam it!). Glad they acknowledged and fixed this, as it's disconcerting when the bonnet starts fluttering when driving on the motorway!

Strange you should mention the bonnet catch my warning light came on about nine months ago indicating the bonnet was open took the car in catch replaced had no bother since
