Aparently BMW does not repair transmissions, they just replace them.

Well...i'm also hearing an odd whining sound coming from the engine bay. I assume it's a faulty refurbished alternator that was recently installed. It's not causing any driving issues, just an annoying sound. Could possibly be the torque converter or tranny. She's going back to the dealer that installed the alternator, this morning. Will circle back with their findings...or lack thereof
