Just had the same thing (Transmission malfunction) appear on my '06 530i which I also picked up in Sept.

I'm curious...did they charge you for the loaner? I was a little disappointed that they are charging me $5 a day for a loaner since it's an obvious warranty issue with the car. It's not the money, but the principle of the thing. I expected having to replenish the gas, but feel that $5 is adding insult to injury.

My Ride: 2005 525i Titanium Silver Metalic and 2003 325xi Jet Black with the Premium Package in both cars.
BIG TIME.........GET TO THE DEALER......I seen that a lot of this particular problem has been popping up on the 05's & 06's. Don't know whats causing it, but thats not your job, thats the dealers. Warranty...Warranty thats all one has to know. Sometimes the dealer only tells you "its a glitch in the idrive" but they do resolve the problem. Good luck

Thought I'd update you on my transmission problem on my '06 530i.
Got a call from the dealer today. They've just gotten authorization to replace my transmission and are waiting for one to be shipped to them. I should have it back in a couple of days.
Service advisor told me that they were stumped as to what was/went wrong. That they were working w/ Germany and they all decided the best approach was putting in a new tranny.
Car has less than 4K in mileage!
How concerned should I be? To my uneducated ears, it sounds like a major overhaul....
