3 days of ownership and I get the "Red cog of death" Came on at a red light and disappeared. For now. Hopefully it's because the car has been sitting at the lot for a long time and the battery is weak.

Congrats man!!! So what are the specs? If it's still under warranty, have the dealer look into that red cog right away. I had that light come up on my car a few times during cold starts in the morning but it only flashed for a sec or so and went away. The dealer couldn't find anything wrong but after the 3rd or 4th time it happened, they replaced my clutch.

Thanks. I read the horror stories on over at M5board. I'm out of warranty. Hopefully it'll last past the summer so I can replace it over the winter. I've been nervous and worried ever since I read all those stories. I had this feeling it'll go.

Drive it w/o worries or it'll just be a pain in ass... Don't give a damn, that red cog can come on for many reasons such as software update or the clutch position sensor...
Have fun man... nothing to worry about as long as car is shifting smooth. They're all jerky somewhat so dun stress.
Bring it around some time, i'll run a test on your car at my shop.
