Alright. But please keep in mind, I make one comment, get blasted for it, and then in turn people make the same useless comments. Look at it from that perspective.

I've autocrossed in my wife's automatic R56 MCS and went all the way up to redline several times... nothing seems to have happened to the tranny.
Besides that one time, it's pretty much about 95% city driving on the car.
How's the weather? Could it be a cold start issue or something??? IDK...

I've heard our nations water supply has traces of prescription drugs... Wonder if that tends to make people more pissy?

The weather isn't that great, it's been raining and snowing on and off since January.
I hope it's only this.
I looked over at the different "cold Start" threads on NAM, and it seems to happen only on sticks, not auto.
My car has been at the dealership for over 8 hours, and I haven't heard any knews since! Drives me crazy....

Thanx for the support guys.

Peace..

Oh and Pinky Demon, got nothing against you, just stop hating and chill out.

Alright. I'll chill. I didn't come here to make trouble in the first place, but I'm not going to back down when people take me through the cheese grater. We're cool, it's over, I got enough problems without having more on here.

I'm interested to see what's going on here. I highly doubt it's the cold start issue as that pertains to something else, but 8 hours at the dealership is not much. Give it a day or two and see what happens. The worst thing that can happen is you need a new trans, but I highly doubt it will come to that. Don't worry, take it easy.


(psst: Get a manual next time! )

Ah, well. At least if you need a new transmission, it'll be covered under warranty. Imagine if this came up after the warranty! Ew...

Nope my 08 Clubman S Auto has it also but I'm not too worried.
