'05 530i, M54, 70k miles.
Some erratic shifting - didn't what to shift to 3rd at 3/4 throttle, sometimes would shift back and forth between 3 and 4 at light throttle, jerky 1-2 and 2-3 shift.
Changed the atf, twice and reset adaptations using a scanner. Better but still sometimes it seems like slow shift to third. It was "surging" but that seems to have stopped after changing the fluid and adaptations.
Got new solenoids, mecatronics sleeve, that rectangular rubber/plastic connector and 4 black plastic tubes that go between the valve body and transmission. New oil pan. ATF dripped, splashed, drizzled, running down my arm, everywhere.
Just got it put back together tonight but didn't have time to put fluid back in. It's no fun at all putting the valve body back in.
