M3 E46 2006 38150Miles Gearbox Telltale Light

Hi All

Ive recently bought my M3 on the 9th September and since i picked it up i had a feeling that somethingb wasnt quite right with the gearbox's behaviour, in normal drive with no sport modes selected it revved high at times in 2nd gear before selecting into 3rd, in order for it not to do it you had to be really light on the pedal so it selected from 2nd to 3rd.

Never owning a M3 SMG set up before i just figured its how the M3 behaved. Then today the gearbox warning light didnt go off after i started her up, i went to pull away and there was a slight juddering that stopped once i decreased in acceleration.

I stopped, put it back on the drive and turned it off, started her back up again and the light went off. On the drive is where it has stayed for the rest of the evening.

Is this bad? Just a fault that can be clered on the computer? Has anyone else come accross this?

The car is full BMW service history, but it is due its first inspection 2. The car is currently on 38000miles.

Thank you for your time

Brett :wacko:
