Are there any ECU/DCT software updates which they should be doing?
I have had to take my car back to the selling dealer as other dealers are refusing to do the service FOC. I was always under the impression I could get this done at any BMW dealership.
Many Thanks
Oh can’t wait for the drive home after it’s done. 8.5k here I come

The first service isn't free, but the selling dealer possibly 'built it into' the price when it was sold. Thats why it will need to go back there.
DCT gearboxes are lubricated for life and fluid MUST NOT be changed! Lots of US threads about this if you look. Some changed the DCT oil and knackered up the DCT gearboxes.
I am desperately trying to run up to 1200miles as i can't wait to get it done so I can give it some real beans!!
