If you are certain that you are fully engaging the shift lever into first gear, and it is popping out, you should take it back to the dealer immediately. Have the service rep RIDE with you to see it happen. I can only assume that your seat is adjusted properly and that you are depressing your clutch pedal fully and shifting positively.
This is NOT normal and could be very costly if the gears have been damaged. Maybe it's just linkage adjustment, but it sounds more troublesome than a random missed lever placement.
Good luck,

If your can is jumping out of gear then I think you have a gearbox fault.

I have never experienced this problem on a BMW. However, I once had the exact problem on a brand new Acura Legend some years ago - it required a new transmission (replaced when the car was one week old). I'd push hard to determine the real cause before your car goes out of warranty.
