I never saw of heard something similar of our DCT trans ! It's a serious problem . Question... Are you using a high pressure washer when you are washing your car ?

But this time I didn't even wash the car. I went out for a short drive, stopped for some lunch, then came back, tried to put it in R, and it flipped shit. So I pulled out my phone and filmed it as I put it in D. My first M3 never did shit like this. I bought the car 4,000km ago too.

Seems like your DCT is working , but probably interrupted by water or moisture in the electric system of your DCT . Fault code must be visible at your BMW/Dealer . At least...Let's hope ! Please keep us posted about this weird problem .

The fault codes just read that clutch 1 was jammed, and transmission overheat (I work in a BMW shop, I read the faults before I give them the car for warranty). My main concern is the SA was saying it might not be covered... The car is still under new car warranty? WTF?

The only case I know about replacing a DCT under warranty was in Sweden . I know him as friend via PM and Email , and BMW had changed the DCT fluid ,but with fluid for manual transmission ! And I warned him that only Pentosin was ok for our DCT trans. So he got a brand new DCT trans...but only after more than 2 months ! Check this out... http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1078744 http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1095827

BMW Canada refers to DCT as Manual Gearbox.

And what's a manual gearbox in Canada ?
Perhaps 6 speed manual trans ? Anyway, I really hope that BMW has a solution for your problem !

I believe so. They rely on the VO code to specify M-DCT.

It seems that because they know I work on BMW's they expect me to find the problem for them. I understand that warranty work doesn't exactly "pay", but cmon guys.

Your video should be all the verification they require to begin work. Shops that see documentation like yours, then take it for a spin and send you on your merry way because they can't "duplicate the problem" are ridiculous.
If they can't pinpoint and resolve the problem, then time for a new trans altogether. Under warranty, their problem. Unless the trans warranty was previously voided for some reason, then you're covered. Be persistent and good luck. And that's a crazy symptom... never seen or heard of that before.

Does anyone else park in Neutral and pull e-brake? I know they say park in gear, but I don't like that. What would void a trans warranty? I've never touched it, but maybe the PO did? I doubt this, because he was an older fella who only had an average economy of 11.9L/100KM. I couldn't find anyone else who has had it either. I've seen some that stall, but none that jerk around violently like mine.

Who said park in gear? "P engages automatically when you switch off the engine unless N is engaged and the remote control remains in the ignition lock. As soon as you remove the remote control from the ignition lock, P engages regardless of the position of the selector lever" -Owners manual I park mine however I want to, even in reverse, it works just fine, I just shut off the engine and go on my way. I have Comfort Access, FYI. Doesn't have to be electrical. Something could have gone wrong in the oil cooler system for the trans, you could have a blockage or something. New transmission is coming... This transmission problem is absolutely covered by the factory warranty.

The fact it's fixed by letting the electrical systems fall asleep tend to point me in the direction of electrical.

This car needs to be fixed by a BMW dealer and by fixed I mean it's getting a new transmission under Warranty. The crap I read about your shit not being covered is completely false, and I have never even worked at a BMW dealer. I feels good knowing more than your SA though. Feels real good.

Well, they have it for the long run now. BMW Canada is being involved and a PUMA is being opened.
For now... I have this nifty free 2014 320xi to drive... Which isn't half bad.
