Yes good point, will check with the dealer.

P.S: It's a wrong place and wrong time, but Congratulations for the F10, i haven't been following up lately. Checked some pictures, they look great.
Thanks buddy, just having some bad luck lately. I just don't get how something as critical as the transmission can have frequent problems and not get addressed by BMW. I am going for the replacement.
