That would be nice if they did that. And I couldn't have stated it better when you said that I deserve more than just a returned car at this point.

In my case it was oil getting between the clutch plates during gear changes.

If they just replace your clutch without addressing the cause it will happen again.
They haven't identified the cause yet, and I agree that it will happen again.

I'm still trying to get over the software update to fix a slipping clutch.
Yep!!!!! Only the finest from BMW service.... :roundel:

I would mention this possibility to them but then they might keep my car for another month trying to find it! :biggrin:
