The Dealer called today, BMWNA has determined the car's Hydraulic Pump for the SMG will need to be replaced.

Does anyone know if this replacement should be followed by any others? (Will this replacement cause damage?)
I don't think the replacement will cause any damage -- hopefully the diagnosis is correct and you'll be good to go once they button everything up. I realize you're not off to a comfortable start with this car but thankfully you have a warranty to get things right and, as I said before, you're working with a dealer who will make sure you're a happy customer...

Thats exactly what was changed on my 545!!! After it was changed i had absolutely no problems with the SMG. Runs like a baby. Hopefully yours will turn out just like mine. But now i am having a strange popping noise in the front suspension so my brother is taking it in tomorrow since he is a technician at BMW. He said it might be something with the active suspension??? Hopefully its something simple. By any chance do you have the same problem??
