I used to get a small jerk. Transmission leak at the mechatronics sleeve.. 6-$800 fix and it runs like new. Which dealership do you go to? I got to east bay BMW in Dublin. I think they are pretty good. Much better than Fremont

Sup bro. Yea man, still in the shop, 4 weeks and a a day. Hopefully it'll be resolved this week. Are you still in the Bay? Or did you head back already?

No fix yet, but I'm trying to hope for the best.

So, here's what you have to do - it's a frikkin tranny reset!!
Drive in manual mode M5 for 5 minutes at over 60MPH, then switch it to M6 for 1 minute, then back to M5 for 2 minutes, then back to auto.
Note: the car is going to sputter continuously when you have it on M5 for the 5 minutes.
That was it - drove around for 30 minutes afterwards and no issues what so ever!! Unbelievable!!!
