Has anybody had this problem yet. I've driven this car with no problems in Drive Logic 4 on Auto Trans mode for the first 4 weeks. When I changed it to number 5 last Friday, the engine dies on me when I stop gently. I just switched it back to 4 on Sunday and am keeping my fingers crossed.

I called the dealer and they said there was a software update to fix the problem on my car and about 1000 others in the united states. I am scheduled it get it fixed in 2 weeks.

If anyone has had a similar problem, please respond

There is a specific recall about this, take your car to the dealer with this info:

SI B28 06 08

Double-clutch Transmission with Drivelogic October 2008

Technical Service

PERFORM THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SERVICE INFORMATION ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES PRIOR TO CUSTOMER DELIVERY OR THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS.

SUBJECT
Service Action: M3 with M DCT – Reprogramming for Incorrect DCT Clutch Operation

MODEL
E90, E92, E93 M3 with S65 and M DCT transmission produced up to 09/10/08

SITUATION
Due to the M DCT software error, the customer may experience a sudden loss of engine power when decelerating to a complete stop with light brake application, or when performing a multistage downshift (e.g. from 5th to 2nd gear, or from 6th to 3rd gear). At the same time, the transmission will shift into neutral, and reduced power steering assist will be detected.

In order to correct this situation, BMW is conducting a Service Action to reprogram the M DCT transmission control module on all affected vehicles. With the completion of this Service Action, the software of the complete vehicle will be updated as described in SI B09 05 01 (Coding, Individualization, Programming), Procedure B.

AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Service Action involves M3 vehicles with the S65 engine and M DCT (dual clutch) transmissions, produced from series introduction up to 09/10/08.

In order to determine whether a specific vehicle is affected by this Service Action, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.

The chassis number ranges listed below are only for informational purposes, and are not to be considered as the only deciding factor.

CAUSE

SOLUTION
On a customer complaint basis only, check the vehicle's integration level.

If the integration level is E89x-08-03-540 or lower, then reprogram and/or recode the complete vehicle with a current Progman version (target integration level is E89x-08-09-515 or higher, available since the release of Progman V31).
