Good possibility. 2nd never seems to be a problem though. Only 3rd to 4th. Not sure if that changes anything.

After some research, looks like BMW considers 6MT tranny fluid "lifetime" despite a lot of owners changing this fluid <25k miles and finding metal shavings in it. Will probably be my next move to change it out and see if it fixes the problem. Has anyone had any luck having the dealer swap this under warranty? If not I'll probably do it myself.
