2012 F10 N20 528i xDrive bucking 1st to 2nd/uphill

Hello folks,

I already tried searching through previous posts so here it is: I cannot find a reason why my F10 N20 xDrive auto lurches/bucks when switching from 1st to 2nd gear and shakes/bucks when going uphill and gives me a "drive moderately" warning that goes away the instant I am finished going uphill. I already took it to the mechanic, and he said the spark plugs look fine. We hooked up to a reader and did not get any codes. No check engine light either. 93 octane used and oil changes using LL-01 oil. Thanks.

You should find an independent BMW shop with better diagnostic tools to pull past/shadow codes. If you got the drive moderately warning, it will be in car's memory.
