Car has an appointment with my Indy guy on Wednesday, and I'll give him all your instructions from post #1. I won't be driving it until then.
I hate it, I love this car and have way over-maintended it. I hope it's not about to bite me in the ass at 33k miles. ('13 135i)

Hope you get it sorted. I know what you mean about the car. When everything is working, it's great. But when things go bad with the DCT, it can be an utter nightmare. You're at the point where I was. But fortunately for me, I was still under the factory warranty at the time. And I got so fed up, I was going to leave the car at the dealership till they figured it out. My SA knew how serious the situation was and personally test drove my car to experience the problem himself. Fortunately, the problem reproduced itself except for the scary moment that forced me to say enough is enough. The car wanted to jump forward in stop and go traffic. If I hadn't been ready for it and had my foot on the brake, my car would have creamed the car in front of me.

I experienced the bucking and at times it was pretty severe. So it's not something that is a rare incident. And no codes, check engine light, or overheating either.
