In answer to epiphone3 question when the transmission is not locked, accelerating inceases engine revs and road speed but there is not a direct relationship between engine rpm and road speed.

The dealer looking at this issue is going to test the car on the same route I drive so I hope it demonstrates its inconsistent function.
It has a fault for sure, take it back, I have had two 8 speed auto BMW's and driven many more, NONe did that.
