Cold Transmission Slow Shifting

My sister has a 2004 X3 2.5 with an automatic, 140,000 miles. The last two winters the transmission shifts very slow upon initial engine start and the transmission is cold (below 30 deg. F). I'm thinking about rebuilding the control module with new solenoids and pressure switches.

Has anyone had a similar problem and what was the fix?

Thanks in advance.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."

I've got a 2010 X3, one of the last E83's made. Bought it as a CPO 3 years ago, and it has this same symptom. But, once it warms up, it shifts just fine. I think this is normal for these. Don't know about the '04 though.....I think the '10 has a different transmission.
