Similar problem; warranty expired
Having the same problem. Started 2-3 months ago. After a sw update the problem was gone, until it reappeared last week. Now my dealer says they need to replace the shifter which, with a 1,5 day of work, costs almost 1600 euros.
However, my warranty expired 9 months ago and I've driven 43000 km, but I don't want to pay because a good product shouldn't break down in this timeframe and I have no control over how the dct works. So the problem can't by my fault!
Problem is that I have a US version but driving in Europe (Netherlands). Therefore warranty is 2 years instead of 4 years in the US. My dealer tried to get it repaired under some sort of warranty but got no as an answer from BMW.
Has anyone has a similar issue with expensive repairs just outside warranty and found a way not to have to pay for it.
Thanks.
