Hey whats up everyone good night. Today I was doing sum donuts and burn outs on my 525i and after I finished a message came up on my idrive saying
that I had a transmission overheat. So I stop the card and turn if of for like 30 min. After that I started her up and the car felt jerkey and It wasnt driving as
smooth It felt really ruff. Tomorrow Im going to make and appointment at Nick Alexander. What should I tell them? The car only has 21,000 and full warranty that should cover. What do you guys think?

I would give it a few days and see how it is first. And also try the transmission reset procedure before taking it to the dealer.

Thanks. I tried the transmission already and did not make a difference. I will wait a couple more days. I cant stand my car fealing like a cheapy..Hopefully it goes away. Hopefully I get a bad ass loaner,like a 550i that would be sweet.

Maybe you need to eat donuts instead of doing donuts with your car and putting it through that undo stress. Don't tell the dealer anything other than something is wrong and you don't know what it is.
