Transmission Malfunction warning

Hi all,

I've had a scare the other day driving my 135is on the freeway (DCT). I was exiting the freeway when suddenly I got a transmission malfunction warning stating that I need to drive the car moderately. I was able to lurch my way home and noticed that it would skip gear 2 and 4 - so when I was in complete stop, it would engage 1st gear, and then 3rd after revving the engine (manual mode did not work). I turned off the car and had it towed to a local independent mechanic, who found that the error cleared itself, and suspected that it could be an issue with the mechatronic unit (he didn't see any leaks). I've driven it for the past few days without any issues (both in manual mode and in auto mode). I'm taking it to dealer for a second opinion, but wanted to check whether anyone has had similar experience? thanks!
