Question on DCT Shifting and Noise @ high RPM
Quick question for you gurus. I've got a 2011 M3 (80k miles) and am having some problems with my DCT. The problem is really tough to explain but i'll give it my best shot.
When driving normally in D mode the car feels normal but when I hustle it at high rpms in manual mode the shifts are late to up-shift and they often slam into gear and the downshifts are not very firm and also slam from time to time. A few times when running it hard I heard a loud screech coming from the transmission area of the car. The car almost feels like it's confused like a clock out of sequence. I am under warranty and am planning on taking the car in but wanted to get an idea if this sounds familiar to you all and what was your remedy?

Erm if I heard a loud screech from transmission u would not be driving the car anymore, let alone running it hard a few times. Pls take the car in asap.
As for cause, low transmission fluid has been known to cause weird problems with the gearbox. |

No doubt about not pushing it. I heard the noise two or three times. Will be taking it in this week.

Thanks man. The noise comes from behind and is super loud. I'll take it in and see Wzup. Hoping it's low on fluid or something routine.

*****Update on my issue*****
I took my car into the dealer and they found out that I was low on transmission fluid. I want to say that he said 2L low. They also said the pan was leaking and needed to be replaced in addition to my valve cover gasket leaking. They are going to replace everything but the kicker was the option of replacing the pan with oem or something plastic. I opted for them to use the metal pan which costs me an additional $400 but I wanted it done right. Looking forward to getting her back and running right again.

Will do. They still have my car but once it's back I'll let y'all know the results.
