I have a 2003 BMW 745LI. Just before I come to a stop is feels like the transmission slips just a little. Is there need for concern?

Are you sure it’s not just downshifting to 1st?

It is most likely just downshifting into low gear. Don’t worry about it. You could call and ask a dealer, or find a BMW forum online, if you really need to know.
