Something which the people behind me on the main road love when I am turning in. I, too, had the notchy shifting feeling. Replaced trans fluid with the Pentosin MTF2 , which is the factory fluid. O'Reilly was able to order and have the same day. This helped a good deal as mine had 89K when I purchased it, but didn't solve it completely. I then ordered a ZHP weighted shift knob and that helped smooth it out to a barely noticeable level. Can't help on the fuel door issue. I only get static on the aux input if I have my phone charger connected while using it. If I leave the charger disconnected, it plays without any background noise.
Thank you for tips!

I had the ZHP knob in my 330ci and I liked it a lot. I'll check the Pentosin MTF2
