The SA wrote a big note on my service paperwork and even highlighted the paragraph where it said not to change the transmission fluid.

It's dissapointing that the word isn't getting out regarding this important information. It seems BMW needs a better method to get the word out to the dealerships.
I was just at the dealer, and I asked about your car being in for service. The SA confirmed that they would have changed the tranny fluid if you didn't warn them ahead of time. Very messed up that the Service Department isn't aware of this yet. Yours is probably the first DCT that they serviced.
