New Transmission.... already?

I purchased a 2007 X3 about 7 weeks ago. Its got a little over 3,000 miles on it now. Yesterday morning, the auto-transmission warning light comes on. The car starts shifting really badly -- sort of like when someone is learning how to drive a stick. Needless to say, I called up my service department and they told me to come over immediately.

When I get there, they hook it up, and although its producing a transmission fault code, they can't find anything wrong with it. so they reset it, and tell me to come back if it happens again. On my way home, it comes on again, and the same shifting problems are there. So I take it back over to the dealer, and basically say "Fix it" (only a bit more angrily). They give me a loaner and say they'll look at it.

Today i called them up to see if they found whats wrong, and they say, basically, "well, we can't find anything, so we want to replace your transmission..." Now i've had this car for 7 weeks and only have 3,000mi on it. How on earth could the transmission be shot?

I don't really think i want to keep the car now that its already gone through a transmission. I don't know what else may go wrong with it further down the road (yea, i know its covered, but a 45 minute drive to the dealer each way doesn't tickle my fancy) I can't go through Lemon Law yet, because i only got the same problem twice. Should i ask BMW to buy the car back? (i financed it, not leased)


Is anyone else having this problem or even ever heard of it? Any thoughts, opinions, or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
