Guys I need your help, I went to shut off my radio today when I was pulling into parking lot at work and noticed it felt kind of funny like I could pull it off, hard to explain but it wasn't solid. I NEVER noticed this before and I don't know if they had to pull out radio to update software or it's just me or I just never noticed it before... Anyone A) know what the hell I'm talking about 
and 
if you can understand my blah blah blah does yours feel solid and fine or is that just the normal feel or do I have to have it looked at when the new sofware is in to fix my LED's????? HELP

Hmm.. I use mine daily to mute/unmute during startup/shutdown and mine feels solid. I'm sure I'm not the only one here that likes to shut everything down before the ignition goes off. lolz 
Did you try pulling that sucker off? I would...

I kind of did but didn't pull all the way because I didn't want to break it, I tried pushing in hard but that didn't work ether. It is very shackey and wobbely.... I am starting to not like my CAR!!!! Also today there was some punk next to me and some rice box piece of crap well I put my car in DS and when the light turned green I slammed the gas and the Triangle withe the arrows went off and I lost some power (was that track. control??) and it did it again 
my first race and that happens!!!! I just want my LED's and my knob and everything else to work right!!!! is that so wrong to ask???

No that's not too much to ask. Thank goodness you're still under warranty right?
Look at the bright side, once you take it to the dealer, you'll get a new knob. And who knows, they may say, "oh, we'll have to upgrade you to xenons for your LEDs to work right! No charge!"

Yes that was traction control... next time turn off DSC. press and hold the DTC button for more than 3 seconds til the car tells you that DCS is disabled and then try racing again...
No thats not too much to ask... but dont worry... you know they'll get it fixed... lights are pretty important so BMW will fix it.
