They suspect that the other two lights are not relevant to the accident, but probably related to the gearbox and may be cleared by a service. What a coincidence!

I am thinking to ask them to take my car to a BMW dealer for a service. If the service clears the faults and the faults don't come back in, say 3 months, I will foot the service bill. Otherwise I would insist the repairer getting my car back to drivable condition.

I am wondering if my request is reasonable and I would appreciate some opinions from you guys. Thank you!

BTW it's a non fault claim.
