1st to 2nd gear update:
I went to the dealer yesterday to have my car looked at a second time. The tech who looked at it, Mario "The M Guru" as the dealer calls him, said that this is NOT normal. He also told me that the E9X's have carbon fiber synchros which is new to BMW and M. The problem couldn't be replicated but because I've been there once before for the same issue, they would dump out the tranny oil and check for shreds in the pan. Either way, they would have to report the issue to BMWNA and wait for a response from them and see what they will do.
My recommendation is this; take your car in and complain about it everytime you go. The dealer is under obligation to dump the tranny oil out (even if they can't replicate it) and report their findings to BMWNA. Sooner or later, if BMWNA gets enough complaints they will have to issue a recall.
Either way, it's worth a try and a free tranny oil change to boot.
