Maybe they are just uploading the shifts points/ programming since it was new transmission????

Try this, accelerate using 1st gear normally to about 5 mph, lightly tap on the brake and gas it again. You'll definitely feel some clutch shock as the SMG tries to unclutch (when brake is applied) and then clutch in again (gas). You can confuse SMG's electronic clutch quite easily. However, I have no doubt that BMW engineers, will grace us with improved software, as they gain more knowledge on how people drive.

Yes, I got my car back. It now feels no different that before it died. I am just as puzzled as the dealer on why the entire transmission has to be replaced.
