Today my transmission partially(?) shit itself haha.
I seem to have on and off issues where we'll be driving on the freeway and the car would seem to downshift and felt like it would get "stuck" in between gears and rev really high, but immediately correct itself and have no issues after. Today something similar happened but I immediately got an error on my dash that told me to take it to the service center and that my reverse gear didn't work. I pulled over and tried to reverse and it felt like it was sitting in neutral and just revving/not moving. I restarted my car and same thing. I took it to the dealer and they took it in, but when they started it up reverse worked fine. They still have it to diagnose. I just find it alarming and odd that this would happen. I took delivery of the vehicle in December and it only has about 2700 miles on it. I'm curious if anyone's had any issues similar or if this has happened to anyone else! (And/or using this as a cautionary tale)

I just stumbled upon your thread and wanted to check in on how your car has been doing? I currently have my 2023 X1 at the dealership where it's been for the past two months due to a similar issue. My baby was at 7k miles.
It only happened once while I was driving where I was sitting at a red light, tried to go on green, and the car didn't want to budge at first. When it finally went a few seconds later, there was a loud screeching sound and thudding around the front of the car, and then it finally went all the way. It happened a few more times while I was on the highway, but it finally stopped and became smooth again after like three times. Scariest moment of my life especially since I had passengers!
There have also been a lot of times where when I'm stopped for a prolonged period of time, like at a red light, and there'd be a thudding sound from the front of the car that sounds like something dropped. This was pretty frequent to almost every day I was driving.
I finally asked the dealership to take a look when I took it in for service, and they also said it was transmission-related. However, the first transmission BMW sent was unable to be programmed with the car. The second transmission came this week and they're working on it, but boy am I scared for any issues coming from this.
So, how's your car been treating you now?
