M1 is shifting it myself. When in M1, the only way to get the car to 4500 RPM anymore, aside from a steady throttle increase, is to force the car not to change gears until I want it to, which is hardly ideal.

Regarding warranty issues, I'm hoping that because it's a part that's required to keep the car CARB legal that it's extended beyond the normal warranty, because I didn't pick up the extended warranty on the car, just the extended maintenance. I may have to pick up the extended warranty tomorrow, depending on what the problem is and what it might cost. We'll see. In the meantime, I'll either be driving a dealership diesel or a 335i (maybe a 135i). We'll see what's available when I get there tomorrow morning. I love picking my loaner. :P

I personally am running whatever the dealership puts in the car when they do oil changes. Never really asked them what they put in there.
