That is what I am affraid of. Problems with this car seem to be across the board and rather systemic, typical of first year BMW's

Update, I took the car in yesterday and took the shop foreman on a test drive. He thought that it may be normal, of course, and thought it was transmission noise. He is going to do some research and possibly drive some other cars to see if it is the same. i don't think it will be but we'll see. MB let us know what you find out on Monday..

I'll keep you posted. The foreman I drove with last time also initially said it may be normal but I told him the sound was not there the first several thousand miles so there is no way it is normal. Also, since they somehow managed to fix the noise temporarily shows it's not normal.
