Last night and today the little yellow warning light came on for the first time. Last night it came on, i didn't know what it was so i pulled over and pulled out the (bmw) bible. saw it was tranny related. Waited a little bit, started the car back up and it didn't come back on. thought it was just a glitch.
Tonight driving home from work, it came on again. i pulled over, waited, it didn't go out. pissed off, i had to get home anyway.. so i drove it.. i didn't notice any problems, tranny shifted smoothly. i went through all the different settings making sure it wasn't something with that.
i'm going to the dealer tomorrow morning to drop it off to see what's up. its got a little over 12k miles, i wouldn't figure that this kind of stuff would be happening.
has anyone else had problems with their SMG at all? or if you've had the same problem, any idea what it was? I don't kill the car when i'm driving (i.e. slamming through the gears with the pedal pinned) I just think its a little early for mechanical probs.
I'm supposed to be bringing it to the dealer for its second service at 12,500 miles next week anyway, but i don't want this to be major problem. hoping its not.
any input would be appreciated. thanks - B
