My car would do it 8 out of 10 times that you shifted fast into 2nd gear. Im not talking about 'hyper fast' as someone put it but fast enough to keep forward momentum between gears.

Im not worried about someone messing up the install... If a bmw factory dealership does it- just request to most experienced tech there and be clear that you do not want a fresh technician right out of STEP or other school to dig in on your car.

The 08' and 09' Transmission share the same part numbers but that does not mean that all 08 transmissions share the same internals as the 09 does. Im sure they are the same but no one can really know for sure.

And I don't know why BMW would replace the clutch pedal spring; that shouldn't have anything to do with it.

The clutch spring keeps me thinking-
EVERYBODY- If you have a 6speed trans, could you please look and verify what clutch pedal spring you have? I want to know if all '09 cars came with this newer updated version!!!!!
The purpose of the clutch pedal spring that they replace is NOT to pull the pedal back to the 'disengaged' position! It is to help push and keep the pedal at the floor between shifts!
I keep thinking- maybe the clutch spring could be the culprit of the 'missed shift' and they replaced the trans, clutch, flywheel because they figured they were damaged and need to start fresh again. Who knows.......... I will be driving a lot from Atlanta to Mississippi and back this weekend so it will give me time to put some miles on the car and get a good start on the break in proceedure....

I'd be more than happy for him to see if I have the same problem.
Next week I need to go in for my break in service.

Im sorry for not Pm'ing you back. I completely overlooked it- an honest mistake i promise. I can drive your car for you and see how yours does compared to mine-
On another note, i will not be working for BMW anymore- Ive got a new gig that I am very excited about!
