    Has right under 27k on it and it already has a leak. I'm pretty annoyed by that. I'm waiting for service to open so I can call to make an appt to bring it in. My hubby thinks it's coming from the transmission. He's annoyed that there's no dipstick for either the oil or transmission. I hope it's nothing, but it's just really annoying.

    It is still under warranty so it should be fine. Is the fluid red? Keep us updated and hope they give you a 335i for a loaner :D

    oil leak----probably wont be the last.........

    most likely its the trans pan or wiring sleeve to the trans pan--common thing to see....
    i wouldn't worry about it...its under warranty.......:)

    Yeah, it was brown so I thought it was an oil leak.
    But when my hubby looked underneath (not that you can see much anyway) he thought transmission.
    Well I just dropped it off this morning and waiting for them to call.

    What loaner did they give you?

    No loaner, just a shuttle ride.
    Well it was just me so one of the guys just took a car and drove me to work which was just down the street.

    And kevs330i was correct. That was the cause of the leak. Totally dead on. I smirked as my SA told me that over the phone. Going to pick it up soon.
