    Huh???....high gear in what???....my 825i has a CVT and only has one gear...and that's, "go"...

    Youy might want to explain yourself a little better....the only thing I can think of that you might mean is that the gearshift doesn't keep the thing in gear and it slips out while riding....if that's the case, it most likely is a simple cable adjustment...either at the transmission or near the shifter itself...

    Hope that's all it is....sorry if I'm on the wrong track...your description is a little "sparse" for details...

    The CVT has two ranges High and Low. Mine jumps out of High. AKA the High gear as I like to call it.

    Thanks to all for responding. I had a good feeling that's what it was but wanted to ask in here before I messed with it. I hate touching anything that has a warranty on it. But some things are easier to just fix yourself than take back to the dealer.
