Very defiantly he replies "NO CONFUSION HERE, WE KNOW WHAT TO USE ON THE DCT TRANNY'. Picked the car up and drove it home. Noticed the tranny slipping during acceleration and tight turns. Before I could call him the manager called to tell me a flatbed was on it's way to pick up the car and drop off a loaner. He said he was aware that I specifically warned them about the DCT fluid and he found out during a telecon with BMW that there was a problem with my car and that BMW is not giving dealers the correct info regarding the DCT cars. There is now PuMA case on mine. The truck just left and I'll let you guys know what happens.
DO NOT LET THE DEALERS TOUCH THE DCT TRANNY!!!!!!!!!
You wrote that IF they change the tranny fluid?

The DCT tranny fluid shouldnt be changed at all, its a lifetime fluid...
