BMW has an ingenious way of stress testing your new motor after its production. They connect an electric motor to the engine and hookup lots of sensors to test the engine...without the use of combustion.

However, some temperature sensitive components may not be appropriately stressed, and this may be why the defect was not picked up in your car.
Thank you for your post. After an ENTIRE WEEK, the dealer finally tells me my car is ready. I go to pick up the car, and I haven't even driven off the lot, and then I got a "Power-train Malfunction Warning". Needless to say, I was a bit pissed at the dealer. Unbelievable!!
