I keep going back and forth with my dealer on this issue. As previously mentioned, they replaced the tranny at 10,000 miles but I've gotten the grind maybe 2-3 times in the past 3-4,000 miles. I just picked it up after it had been there for 2 weeks, they were unable to replicate it after driving it for just 50 miles, though I picked it up and just 200 miles later had the 1-2 grind again. They're now refusing to take the car back in the shop. I'm getting a lawyer involved. In the meantime I suppose I'll try the "push to the left" technique mentioned above although I am not okay with this undisclosed feature of a supposedly high performance automobile. Moreover, the fact that the problem does not occur in every car indicates that there is a way for this not to happen, so it then becomes BMWs responsibility to fix it.
I did just by the UUC short shifter, we'll see if it helps after install but I see no reason why it would.
