    you should have a transmission mode switch; it should NOT be in the "sport" mode. factory warranty is 4 years
    or 50,000 miles; if still under warranty, ask the dealer
    to look into this. if not in warranty, you will need a
    good BMW shop that has the correct software to scan this. this transmission is adaptive; if you drive it hard, it will learn and then shift quicker.
