I could not be happier with the dct and can't imagine how it could perform better. It spends 5 days a week in downtown traffic then gets abused in the mountains on the weekends. Never had a hiccup.
If it was as easy as a repair problem then it should be easily fixed. But there's a group of us that have tried everything so what do you think we should do? First the PPK was suggested as a fix. I did that. Still have issues. Then there was a software update identified by a SIB. I did that too. Still have issues. Since that software update, BMW hasn't released anything else to address the problem. I tried going to a Dinan S2 tune. That for the most part corrected the issues with the DCT with the A/C off. But with the A/C on, the problem still persists. Unless BMW is willing to bench test a DCT and swap it out for my lemon of a trans or find a car that doesn't act up and swap me for it, I don't see any other solution.
