I also posted this in the general by accident:

Anyway, took in yesterday for 20k service and asked about it. Tech issue is under:
Shifting issues, power drops off or hesitates.
-SIB 12 09 15 (ENCODED CONTROL UNITS).

They still have it as they are currently talking with BMW about the issue...but the tranny appears to be throwing codes so something is going on.

On the bright side, I've been driving a brand new 435 M-Sport Coupe and it looks like I'll have it through the weekend. Nice way to test out a sweet ride! I already miss the quickness of my 2er though...

Hope this helps someone else.
Interesting.. Never heard of that issue. Keep us posted.

435 feels slower?
