Transmision, Engine, Emisions Problem.... HELPPPP

I looked through many most of the threads and didnt find anyone with this problem.

My car turned the check engine on and I decided to take it to BMW, driving the car to the BMW shop i turned 3 new things on. 1) increased emisions on
2) transmision failure 3) engine failure speed reduced or something like that and the car will go slower and will not accelerate like it is suppossed to.

I took the car to BMW and they told me that they were to reprogram the whole car plus reprogram the transmision because it had a recall.

I took the car back homw (1 hour 45 min far)
Drove the car for 1 day and lights came back, whe the car is turned on it will only say the emisions thing plus the check engine.

Drive the car for a while and as soon as it starts up and downshifting for a while the transmision thing comes on,
drive it a little longer and the engine bulsht.... comes on


Im really mad and dissapointed with this car I've been a BMW owner for a while and in sick of this type of problem

I owned a 2002 745i and sold it 2 months after buying it because of computer related problems like this one

I had a E46 M3 best car that has been buil by BMW i track it in solo 1, autocross, drag race it and street race it my car was modified like hell and never gave sht like this it put 70k miles on the cra in 3 years and it never cry

But this new M3 only has 4k miles and has never been race it, its been 4 months since i bought it , i have never launched the car. I just wish that someone at BMW USA reads this. Because i paid 104,000 US $$$ for this car in Puerto Rico and the car is a pain....

Looks like a junction box failure. I dont think its anything serious if thats the issue. Have faith bro. I also had some minor hiccups but all good now. And i paid 250K USD for a car here in Singapore. Learn and let live. I am certain BMW will solve your problems for you.

Cheers!

WOW! 250k US. You need to at least change your picture in your signature to the M3 for that price.

I just got a service engine soon light the other day....car is in the shop right now I hope mine doesnt turn out this way (although I am 6MT so i dont need the DCT software update)

just to clarify My car is also saying increased emissions...initial reports from the dealer are a stuck thermostat though...nothing software realted
