What have I gotten myself into?

Okay,

Have not had this car more than a week. Less than 500 miles on it. This is my first BMW purchase.

Facts:
1. 2012 535i M Sport
2. My wife (primary driver) has had several occurances of what she describes as a warning "Transmission not engaged in P" Flashed for a few seconds, and then goes away. I have not seen this error myself. This occured during the first tank of gas we ran through the car after picking it up from BMW last Saturday.
3. I talked my wife into letting me drive the car to work today. I filled the car up with premium gas this afternoon at Shell station.
4. Make it five miles down the road in my neighborhood, and the car starts to shift stangely, (hesitation / loss of power)
5. Turn the corner on my street - LOUD clunk with the Transmission Malfuction error on both the main display screen and the dash. Says to drive moderatley.
6. Make it home with low power.
7. Turn car off, error is dismissed.
8. Pissed.
9. Car sitting in garage.

I guess I will call this in tomorrow morning. I didn't sign up for this. I need reliabilty.
