I had this problem with my 08 E93 M3. Only occurred during *spirited* 1-2 shifting. I had put a short shifter on to get rid of the rubbery stick, which may have contributed. The sensation was like sticking my hand in a coffee grinder - very pleasant and many times embarrassing. I took it to the dealer twice and, contrary to usual experience, was able to reproduce it. They speculated it was a synchro issue and planned to order and install an entirely new tranny. (un)fortunately my car was totaled and I never had to deal with it. It was something that really annoyed me - and I'm now very happy with my DCT.
